Tule Lake? or Manzanar?

Woo-Hoo! Thanks for leading me down this path. It took some research on Japanese Internment Camps but ultimately, based on the topography of your images I was able to narrow it down. Also, it seems they used stone camps. Beautiful scenery.

    it seems they used stone camps.

Only the gates and the base of the administration building were made from stone. The barracks were made from wood and were no longer on site. The rest of the stone is from rock gardens the prisoners built. Some of the gardens were quite elaborate and included concrete ponds and streams. I think one of them has been partially restored since our class visited the site.
