Group;

Here is a decent over-all aerial photo of AC interlocking taken from about 30K feet by a USGS aircraft in May 1970. You can zoom in fairly low before it gets too grainy to see much. It's not in the same league as today's digital-color shots, but still a neat chance to go back in time for a look around.

Photo negative frames of the entire county can be purchased from the USGS at several levels of resolution on either CD, or DVD for $30.00 each. I believe they have film of this area all the way back into the 1950's.

Enjoy!
