Exercise II: What can you see

1. Using the projected aerial photograph, identify 8 to 10 things that you can
determine or derive from the photo.
1. Baseball fields near the shore line
2. An airport on the western edge of the photo
3. A golf course in the northeast quadrant
4. Several large buildings scattered throughout the photo
5. A small forest or woodland at the eastern end of the airport
6. Major roadways
7. A bridge in the northeast quadrant
8. A small residential subdivision south of "B"
9. Piers and beaches on the southern coast
10. Boats on the water
2. What problems might you infer or identify in using this type of photograph?
The small scale makes identification of detail difficult. The only obvious features are the limits of the developed and undeveloped areas. I would have to have some familiarity
with the area to be able to identify individual features with any certainty.
