Figure 13. Sidescan-sonar image from the western end of Boulder Basin showing the transition between alluvial deposits in the upper right part of the image and smooth reworked deposits in the lower left.  The reworked deposits are alluvial deposits that presumably were reworked and smoothed by seasonal changes in lake level during the first half of the history of the lake.  See figure 1 for the location of this figure.
