    The Canal and Penn Lake in the distance. 1910. Certainly stripped the landscape of trees.

    I think it’s exiting the canal into Pen Lake. The middle point is Pow-Wow Point. It’s definitely not Hunter’s Bay or Camp Kitchen.

    Could this be the gap between the westerly most portion of Big Island in Lake Vernon, and the mainland?
