Content Description
Content Summary: This collection of photos was originally
flown by the War Department in 1937. The original photos were taped together
to make larger areas that were again photographed (This is the product available
at Skagit County Public Works). The resultant photos were then scanned in
2003.
Content Purpose: A low resolution image of historical
conditions of
Skagit
County
populated areas.
Supplemental Information: The photos were scanned
at 1600 dpi, and georectified with a first order polynomial using mostly street
intersections as ground control. A significant amount of spatial distortion
exists in the data, and analysis should be made with caution. The original
photos are not currently at
Skagit
County
, but may be at the USGS.
The compilation photo set originals are at the Skagit County Public Works
department, but distribution of hardcopy originals can be made by the USGS.
