Historical Note
Before 1978 a number of federal agencies conducted high altitude surveys.
In 1978 The National High Altitude Photography program was created to consolidate federal high
altitude photography activities to save money. The images in this collection were probably used as part of the Soil Conservation Survey.
The Rich County aerial photograph collection consists of high-altitude images taken in 1959 probably by the Aerial Photography Field Office in Salt Lake City. There are also
images from Bear Lake County on the Utah/Idaho border and Uintah and Lincoln Counties along the Utah/Wyoming border.
These images are from 9" x 9" negatives and taken at 1:20,000.
The date the image was taken is usually in the upper left-hand corner.
For more aerial photographs of Cache and Box Elder Counties see P0330, P0383, and P0472
