2005 YORK FACTORY - The GREEN dots represent the location of the shoreline in 2005. The green dotted area in the 1926 photo has been entirely eaten away by the action of river erosion. The movement of river water and ice acts much like a rasp on the softer shoreline material. -- Source: -- Part of an original photo by K.
