The Aerial Foto-Map Book is basically a large series of black and white vertical aerial photographs of the metropolitan portion of San Diego County captured in sequence within a 12 hour period on January 15,1982. All of the aerial photographs were taken from a fixed winged aircraft at 24,000 feet and recorded using negative roll film to capture each frame as an indexed map page, representing 20,000 X 24,000 feet of unique land area in real-time. The photographed map scale is consistent with the USGS topography maps at a scale of 1”=2000’. The scope of the aerial photographs that are consistently paired to each the maps represent nearly 20 square miles of area per page in superb photographic quality, accuracy and detail, without the need for post photo print mosaics. The consistent high quality of each hand finished aerial photograph images is the result of the skill and talent of Kimberly Weser Olas at the photographic print lab at Aerial Foto Bank in Sorrento Valley, San Diego. Historically accurate, the Aerial Foto-Map Book represents nearly an instant in place and time, while also preserving one of the last ‘analog’ aerial photography publications designed and printed without the use of computers to create or enhance the aerial photographic images.
