Plate 1086X. Navajo Lake 1912 – 2005 Viewed east-northeast to Navajo Lake at what is today the Forest Service’s Spruces Campground. In the distance, Douglas fir has increased, while aspen has declined. Aspen has also declined on the right. Many of the spruce on the right have recently been killed by insects and disease. A new road around the lake has also removed many of those trees. Tall larkspur and elderberry (Sambucus sp.) are found in the foreground, as are non-native grasses planted by the Forest Service.
