1. Here's an interesting puzzle. Maybe some viewer can solve it. Where was this 1928 photograph by O. D, Von Englen (courtesy of Bill Hecht) taken? So much of the terrain has returned to woodland that it probably looks far different today.

My guess for the location would be Willowdale Road, south of Moon Hill Road. Bill Hecht thought it might be higher, up on Ripley Hill, but the lake isn't visible from up there, being deeper in its valley, obscured by the hill at the left of the photo.

2. In answer to my question, I suspect that a possible location might be Becker Road, more or less where the lower photo was taken, but the view could be from Willowdale, which is parallel to Becker but a bit lower--down where you see the red house beyond the hedgerow in the
modern photo.

3. Looking at the map, and aligning features shown in the more recent
photo, it does appear that it was taken from Becker Road, very close to the south end where it intersects with Willowdale.
