Cobble spoil from the Sumpter dredge.

Cobble spoil from the Sumpter dredge.
Each ridge of cobbles was deposited while the dredge was anchored in one position but pivoting back and forth. Then, as the area in front was cleared, the dredge would pull forward and start it all again.
At least _something's_ growing again, almost 70 years later--but it will be a long time before this is farmland again.
