Photo Analysis of a Desert Area.

Abstract

Information derived from 1:9,600 scale stereoscopic aerial photography of a desert area near Yuma, Arizona, is presented. Physiography, geology, climate, landform, drainage, erosional aspects, vegetation, and cultural features are considered in the context of local and regional environmental, engineering, and military considerations. The second part of this report presents a field verification of the general geology, geomorphology, and vegetation in the study area with a list of selected references. (Author)
