Description:
Abstract:
A black and white air photo taken in 1955 was scanned and georeferenced for use in a GIS.
Purpose:
The scanned and georeferenced image can be overlain in a GIS with similar images to allow detection of change in landscape features such as vegetation and stream courses over time.

Process_Description:
An air photo was scanned at 300 dpi and saved as a TIF image. The TIF image was georeferenced to the USGS Cirque Peak 7.5' digital orthophoto quad. ArcView Image Nalyst 1.0 software was used to match points on the scanned TIF with the DOQ for georeferencing.
