The source for depleted and drying Lake Abert is Chewaucan River - dammed at River's End ranch. Spirit figures as rock art witness the ebbs and flows as they have for centuries. And will continue to do so as humans in the coming decades abandon the desiccating lakes and playas in the northern Great Basin.
