Hi Kathy,

If they are from USDA, their lists of aerial photo coverage by state can be
found here:

http://www.apfo.usda.gov/Ordering%20Products.htm

Download the pdf of the list, then search on the five digit number in the
center of the top of the photograph.  These are the codes they used instead
of the trigraphs (3 letters) after the 1960s.

Hello,

I've just received a donation of aerial photos, but they don't have an
index and I'm not sure of where they were flown. Perhaps someone can
help me identify them. They were flown 7/14/71 and are most likely of
Plumas National Forest, California.  Instead of a 3 letter code, all the
numbers are prefixed with 2942. No other information is available on the
photos.

Any help you can give me in identifying the photos and locating an index
is appreciated.

Thanks,
