SPECIAL LIST #25, AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES.
Compiled by Charles E. Taylor and
Richard E. Spurr (Washington: 1973).
This list of aerial photographs in the Cartographic Archives Division of the National Archives, includes photographs from five record groups representing the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (RG 145), the Soil Conservation Service (RG 114), the Forest Service (RG 95), the Geological Survey (RG 57), and the Bureau of Reclamation (RG 115). These photographs, of about 85 percent of the contiguous land in the United States, provide a unique record of the physical and cultural landscape of the country during the period just before World War II. They constitute an important reference aid for studying changes in the natural environment and in rural and urban development that have occurred since then.
