Several years back I was perousing a book with some photos in it of the battlefield. Some of them were quite old, and of course some new. What struck me was a certain terrain feature near Reno Hill that seems unexplainable except by modern reclamation processes.
To the north of Reno hill as it descends off in that direction, perhaps a hundred yards or so, there appears to be a flat bottomed terrace feature that seems man-made, as if it was meant to channel the runoff water and keep erosion to a minimum. What i'm interested in, is the history of that feature, as it appears in older photo's as well. Does anyone know - who would know whether or not that is a natural feature or a man-made reclamation terrace?
I inspected this "terrace" feature when I went there in 2005 from the road and the Reno Hill area, and it sure doesn't look "natural", but it was hard to tell from that distance.
