Excerpt from page 74 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: Further on the road skirts Bruce Lake. Most of the water of this lake has been drawn off for irrigation purposes, leaving a wide expanse of alkali as white as snow. At some period in the past the water-line must have been much higher, as shown by marks on water-killed trees high above the present water-level.
