Mohawk Photos - January
8, 2005
These photos (and captions) were
provided by Laurel Upshaw to show some of the natural features of
Mohawk Park, and to partially explain why these features exist and why
they should not be disturbed by further "development."
Rutted condition of the circle drive by the
Lake Yahola levee.
Looking east toward the Mohawk Golf Course.
Looking west toward levee.
close up views of the large potholes, showing remains of snow and ice
from snowfall on Jan . 6, after 3 days' rains. This road has continually
deteriorated for over a year.

looking north along Oxley Drive. All the dark areas are standing water.
Pielsticker Park and the surrounding area to the right. All the dark
areas within the grass are low places filled with standing water.
I have no explanation for the mounds of dirt in this photo. Could be
fill that was brought in, or maybe fill left over from digging in this
floodplain to produce the berm to build the Pielsticker Park.
These photos is of the picnic area between Mohawk entrance and the zoo,
taken Feb. 5, 2005. The dark areas in grass and along the front of the
woods are standing water. The piles are obviously fill brought in from
outside the park, presumably to use in building up this area or
improving the road.
