Walker Lake Question

Red River map—Moss VanBlaircom

There was a question posed about a dike/levee across Walker Lake also known at Mountain Meadows Reservoir south of  Westwood. The above map shows a railroad logging line of the Red River Lumber Company, which the raised railroad bed, would appear as a dike/levee. Note, this map is prior to 1922 and the creation of the lake. So it appears, that at times when the lake is low, the railroad bed appears. Whether this still occurs, is not known, but one would think a century later, it would have finally eroded away.
