Historic Aerial Photos of Early Nevada

Description:
When the Forest Service and Soil Conservation Service photographers hung their cameras out of planes in consecutive summers in 1938 and 1939, they may not have known the historical or geographical significance of their images, but visitors to this digital collection will. The 61 aerial photos in this collection were taken as part of a forest and soil survey. The original 9" x 7" versions of these aerial photos are the earliest aerial photographs of Nevada housed in the files of the Information Office of the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, located on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno. The NBMG Collection includes several hundred thousand aerial photos dating from 1938 to the present.
