Description
An illustration from Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper depicting two Chinese men doing laundry in China Slough (another local term for Lake Sutter). The area of J Street beside the lake became a busy Chinatown in the decades following the Gold Rush. Lake Sutter served as a dumping site for industrial waste for decades and caught fire on numerous occasions before being filled by the Southern Pacific Railroad.
