The town and family photographs come from Dawson's own archive material, as do the lake photographs. The larger shoot they came from was mostly of Navarro Mills Lake rather than the town, which this small set reflects.

About these pictures. The historical prints were made by people in these towns and their families. They are published here to be seen, with no claim made over them — if one is yours and you would rather it came down, write to [email protected] and it comes down. The modern photographs are the work of the people credited above; please ask before using one commercially.
