Excerpts: The airphotos in this handbook were selected to show characteristics and land use in 28 resource areas in three regions comprising all or parts of 14 North Central States. Accompanying the photos of each area is a brief description of land use, climate, soils, and topography for that area. Aerial photographs, used with maps and descriptions, provide a comprehensive idea of how land is used. Such richly detailed photos can be viewed stereoscopically for three-dimensional study of relationships between items on the earth's surface and man's activities.
