Lake of the Isles, Minneapolis, June 1973 During the early 1970s, the newly created Environmental Protection Agency hired freelance photographers from around the country to document the condition of America’s environment. Many of the best known photos from the EPA’s Docuamerica Project show the United States at its 1970s worst, but the images of Minneapolis—taken in the summer of 1973—are almost bucolic in comparison.
