Accompanying note: "Note: North is to the right in the photo."
"Continuing of northly flight path - Minuteman Causeway on left leading to recreation complex. The fingers pictured, fully developed with homes, were all pumped in, as was the recreation complex land. The island with the lake in the center, shown above the last developed finger, is a prime target for development. 30 to 40 homes could be put in there with no dredging, and no disturbance to the endangered mangroves. Note white sand on undeveloped islands. Quite suitable for parks, picnic shelters, the like."
