I believe the photograph was possibly taken in the late 1960s. Prior to 1975, the area now known as Newport Bay Nature Preserve used to be a hunting and farming area, which you can see in this photo. Also, State Highway 23 was in the process of being built and developed which is also visible. In addition, the Newport Dunes Bridge and waterfront area was redeveloped in the 1990s. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
