At the 200-acre (0.81 km2) Cartago Springs wetland at the foot of Owens Lake, the California Department of Fish and Game is using mitigation funds from CalTrans to enhance habitat. This property continues to develop as a wildlife-viewing area for the public. The site is open year-round for viewing of numerous bird species attracted to the ponds and wetlands as well as the ruins of a historic soda ash plant from the World War I era and the 1920s.

“Power, in Case’s world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals ..., had ... attained a kind of immortality. You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
