Title:
Georeferenced 1994 air photos of MUlkey Meadow, Kern Plateau, CA
Description:
Abstract:
1994 color air photos of Mulkey Meadows were scanned, georeferenced, and mosaiced for use in a GIS.
Purpose:
The scanned and georeferenced air photos 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:
The air photos were scanned at 300 dpi and saved as TIF formatted files. The TIF images were then georeferenced to the Cirque Peak 7.5' USGS digital orthpohoto quad. Points on the scanned TIF image were matched to points on the DOQ using using ArcView Image Analyst v. 1.0 for georeferencing.
