Thanks all for your helpful responses. Many flights flew right up to the edge of the study area and stopped. Isn't that usually the case? I was eventually able to locate 1961 coverage with high enough resolution through USGS's EarthExplorer, although it took some work. Not all the scanned images in a flight show up when you do a search, but if you find a flight that's close to your area, you can sometimes access all the frames in the flight and extrapolate the frame number to go to.

Anyway, thanks again for all the leads!
