Figure 12. This vertical air photo from 1953 shows Popham Beach before the State Park facilities and parking lot were built. The Morse River has a very easterly course that, until 2007, may have been the most recent time erosion reached the pitch pine maritime forest. Note at this time the river channel does not breach through the Fox Island tombolo. MGS file photo SDW-15-3 taken June 2, 1953 .
