All,

My apologies to those who receive this twice...

I have a faculty member who is looking for pre-1960s aerial photographs of part of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area in Imperial County, CA.  The specific area of interest is the mile on either side of highway 78 between the Coachella Canal and the Niland-Glamis Road and railroad tracks (Glamis is at the east end of the study area.) I have check the USDA 1959 and 1953 (ABN-1959 & ABN-1953) flights of Imperial County and they did not cover this area. This area was a military training area during WWII and the researcher has heard that the military flew aerial photography, so we think photography does exist. We are checking with National Archives.  Does anyone have any other leads?

The approximate areas are:

T13s R17E sections 25, 26, 35, 36
T13s R17 1/2E, sections 25, 26, 35, 36
T13s R18E sections 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33
T14s R17E sections 1, 2
T14S R18E sections 4, 5, 6

San Bernardino, CA meridian
