Several properties bordering the river here have since experienced severe problems with slope instability. Other properties today remain highly vulnerable. Region of N 10th Street in July, 2000. View is to the southwest. Note position of many of the remaining residential properties on the outside of a tight meander on the Red River.
River flow is toward the right of the photo.
Our photographic archive therefore begins with the completion of one of these houses in Spring, 1995. Note the white house with balcony, whose construction is nearing completion. The balcony and the house rest partially on a low dike. In addition, the white house was partially constructed on a low dike, which in turn was adding to the load on this vulnerable slope. The following photos document the history of slope failure.
