Tule Lake Relocation Center

Central Fenced Area

Figure 13.29. Overview of the central area of the Tule Lake Relocation Center today.

Along State Highway 139 within the former central area of the relocation center is the present town of Newell. Within the town many buildings from the relocation center remain at their original locations. While most have been extensively remodeled, some appear relatively unchanged. The greatest number of extant buildings is in the military police compound (see Security Features, below).

Outside of the area along the highway nearly all of the central area has been graded to some extent, with most of the concrete slabs either removed or broken up and piled. Some areas are farmed but most of the vicinity is open space apparently used for cattle grazing (Figures 13.29 and 13.30).
