Figure 7. Pre-scraping conditions at the Old Morse River channel adjacent to the west bath house. Sand would be moved from the spit to infill the channel in front of the bath house, restoring a beach slope, and plugging a constriction in the channel. Closing off the flow would also result in a new and shorter channel in the vicinity of the area marked New Channel Axis. Photo taken November 6, 2011 by W. E. Varney, DOC.
