An Unremarkable Postcard

Eagle Lake Sunset postcard, 1916-B.R. Zimmerman Collection

During the 1910s there were only a handful postcards produced featuring Eagle Lake. First and foremost, there was no market. After all the majority of the south shore was privately owned, and there was one small seasonal resort. In all my years of research and I have come across two of the above pictured Sunset at Eagle Lake, circa 1916.

It was not until the early 1960s with development of forest service campgrounds and marina, that there were be quite of few Eagle Lake postcards produced. Those images are noteworthy reflecting on the change of the lake level elevation.
