The site is part of a much larger agricultural area and is visible in the distance from the I-205 freeway. The aerial photo in Figure 2-1 illustrates the distance of the site from I-205. Figure 4.1-1 illustrates the southerly/southwesterly view from the top of the knoll located in the southeast corner of the project site.
