Full title:One of the many block mess halls used as a storehouse for evacuee property when it was no longer needed to feed the people. From these temporary storage places, boxes for freight and express went by truck to Parker, Arizona, the nearest railroad station. Units II and III of the Colorado River Relocation Center, Poston, Arizona, meet their scheduled closings ahead of the deadline. These two camps which at one time had a combined population of more than 8,500 Japanese Americans are now completely deserted. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Poston, Arizona.
