The United States Dept. of Agriculture Aerial Photographs of Linn,
Benton, and Lincoln Counties, Oregon, consist of aerial photographs
assembled and used by the USDA field office in Tangent, Oregon for soil
conservation and other purposes. The photographs were made by the National
Aerial Photography Program. For 1994, the collection includes detailed
index maps and large (24x24 inch prints) as well as smaller (10x10 inch)
photo proofs. Index maps are also available for the 1990 and 1985
photographs. The 1985 images only include Lincoln County. For all other
years, there are no indexes available and all of the images are 9x9 inch
or 10x10 inch photo proofs. However, a small subset of the 1972 images
have descriptions of the locations depicted in the photographs and the
collection includes one 24x24 inch print of the 1972 flights.
The 1994 images include a few images of neighboring Lane, Marion, and
Polk Counties near the boundaries with Benton, Lincoln, and Linn
Counties.
Collection is open for research.
The collection is arranged into nine series with each year as a
separate series.
