| Image Date | 1965 |
| Summary/Description | Caption on image: This is the mouth of Ward Creek in an area where there has been a substantial amount of building going on for some years. In this area above Highway 89 we saw county roads which had been severely damaged by flooding. The silt from these washed out roads accounts for some of the dirt you see in the Lake. Some of it probably is coming from John M. Reily's road building activities along Ward Creek. Photograph taken May 14, 1965. This image is part of the Lake Tahoe Area Council photograph collection. The Council was a private, non-political and non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and orderly development of the Lake Tahoe Basin. It sought cooperation between private land owners and governmental agencies to solve basin-wide problems of planning, land use, park and recreation development, pollution control and soil conservation.
