Archeological
remote sensing of roads and paths, that cannot be discerned
by the naked eye from ground level, can be seen in this infrared
(IR) image of the area between campsites 47 and 48 for the Anza
colonizing expedition of 1775-1776. This is just an example,
and was obtained via the NASA
Landsat location finder (and USGS Glovis viewer) using Aerial
CIR NHAP, Lat./Long. 32.777509, -115.87377.
