Program to explore the history of Klamath on Google Earth

[ad_1]

Local historical landmarks visible on Google Earth will be reviewed in an online schedule scheduled for October 28 at 7pm by the Klamath County Historical Society.

“The Story of Klamath as Seen on Google Earth” will be presented by Klamath County Museum Director Todd Kepple, who will use photos and maps to indicate sites around the basin where human activity a century or more ago left marks on the earth that can be seen in satellite images.

Rock fences, abandoned railways, and swampy canals are among the types of terrain features to display.

“Long before bulldozers and modern construction equipment were invented, humans had a way of making their mark on the face of the earth in ways that survived the computer age,” Kepple said. “We will focus on some historical sites that are actually easier to see in satellite imagery than standing next to them on the ground.”
