The original photograph was taken in 1915 from a dune southeast of the entrance to the Muskegon Channel. A ghost forest amid bare sand populate the dune crest. By 2019, the entire dune has been overrun by woody vegetation and home construction. Through the trees in 2019, one can see the breakwater and lights for the channel, albeit barely.
