The stumps are in the same area as the "rock" to the east of the island but right where the old river runs.
How many realize that Big Lake was not there in its current form until after the Channel was dug in the 40's. There used to be a winding river, like that above the locks, that went all the way to the Gulf
I would love to find a map that shows where the river ran before they dredged the channel
