Sand pressure ridge at Lac la Plonge. This entire series of 70 photos taken by B. Baker in 1956, plus a similar series taken earlier that same summer, were of prospective tourist and park development sites. Some of these places did later become thus developed, such as the very large Meadow Lake Provincial Park, and Jackfish Lake, but others did not.
