Granada Relocation Center

Historical photographs show that evacuees landscaped the barren surroundings with gardens, including transplanted trees (Figure 5.14 and 5.15). An unusual feature of the Granada center that also appears in the historical photographs is the presence of what look like small outhouses between the barracks area and the perimeter fence (Figure 5.16). These may be the privies used during the fall of 1943 when the evacuees arrived before the utilities were completed (Simmons and Simmons 1993). Joe Norikane recounts having to drive a water truck from latrine to latrine to flush the toilets (Personal communication, 1999).

More fencing enclosed the area west of the residential area, which included the cemetery, coal storage areas (Figure 5.17), root cellars, the landfill, and the sewage treatment plant. The sewage treatment plant included an "Imhoff" tank, a pump house, a sludge bed, and aeration ponds. Treated effluent was discharged towards Wolf Creek via an open ditch.
