From remotely sensed images such as these, geographers can learn much about the interactions
between humans and their environment. However, study of vertical aerial photography demands
some skill because the perspective is quite different from ground-based observation.
I have assigned you a famous feature. Use the U.S.G.S National Map Viewer
http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/
to examine the location you have been assigned. Take
some time to manipulate the maps and images to larger and smaller scales in order to explore
details and the context of the area surrounding your assigned feature.
In some cases the larger
scale (the site) is most important, while in others it is more expedient to write about what you
see at the smaller scale (the geographic context). Study your area carefully.
I will gladly discuss the assignment with you.
You are welcome to cite any relevant source(s) to
reinforce your arguments.
