Snapfinger Creek Bed Visible in Lake on Google Earth

When our beautiful little lake was made in the 1930s, Snapfinger Creek fed directly in at the east side of the lake. At some point (I'm not sure of the decade, more about this soon) the city made a berm at the back side of the lake and re-routed the creek to its present location.

Yesterday City Manager Phil Howland told me the original channel of the creek is visible when using Google Earth.

Sure enough...
