The county from the air

48 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 2,361 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

July 2017Flash FloodNogales$250,000Heavy rain caused two homes were flooded on West and Oak Street, but no injuries were reported. Heavy rain in Nogales, Sonora caused Nogales wash to overflow its banks whch caused road closures at Doe Street, Calle Sonora, Hohokam Street and at the Baffert Drive Bridge. Damage to the Nogales Wash caused by the strong flows, and subsequently the International Outfall Interceptor, were discovered days later. Raw sewage from this line flowed into the wash. This ultimately led to a month long effort by local, state and federal officials to repair the wash and interceptor pipe. The flow was diverted to avoid contaminating water farther downstream, but some contamination of local groundwater likely occurred. The total repair project including labor, fuel, equipment and other resources totaled nearly $5 million.
