Thompson & Folger East Page 3 of 13 Our Project Number: LES080593 February 10, 2009 4.2 Aerial Photographs Aerial photographs depicting the subject property dated 1940, 1952, 1963, 1975, and 1983 were reviewed at the San Joaquin County Surveyor's Office in Stockton, California 2 One additional photo, dated 1993, was obtained from Microsoft Terraserver. 3 In the 1940 photo, the subject property appears to be vacant and agricultural land. Parcels - 21, -15, -6, -5, and -2 appear to be vacant and mottled with wetlands. The eastern portion of Parcel -9 appears to be agricultural land. Parcel -12 appears to be planted with vineyard. Surrounding properties are vacant or agricultural land with scattered residential and agricultural structures. In the 1952 photo, the northern portion of Parcel -15 and the southern portion of Parcel -2 appear to be agricultural. The vineyard is no longer apparent on Parcel -12. No other significant changes to the subject property and vicinity are apparent. In the 1963 photo, the western portion of Parcel -6 appears to be agricultural. No other significant changes to the subject property and vicinity are apparent. In the 1975 photo, no significant changes are apparent. The scale of this photo is such that identifying close details is not possible. In the 1983 photo, the entire subject property appears to be used for agricultural purposes. Much of the property appears to be planted with alfalfa or similar crops. No other significant changes to the subject property and vicinity are apparent. In the 1993 photo, it appears that field roads or canals now define the current shape of Parcel - 21. No other significant changes to the subject property and vicinity are apparent. These photos are included in Appendix C of this report. NOA's ability to interpret the land uses is limited by the scale and quality of the photos. � 3 United States Geological Survey Topographic Maps The topographic quadrangles depicting the subject property are the U.S. Geological Survey, Thornton and Lodi North, California, quadrangle maps. One 7.5-minute topographic map, dated 1978, was obtained from Microsoft Terraserver. In the 1978 map, the subject property is depicted as agricultural land. Railroad tracks divide Parcels -15 and -21 from the remainder of the property, and high-voltage power lines cross Parcels -5 and -9. A well is depicted in the southeast corner of Parcel -15. Ray School is depicted adjacent to the south of Parcel -9. The property is depicted at approximately five to 25 feet above mean sea level in an area which slopes down to the west at a rate of San Joaquin County Surveyor's Office, 1810 Hazelton Avenue, Stockton, California.
