Fifty
Years Along South Boulder Creek These two images demonstrate the dramatic changes that have occurred during
a fifty year period along the floodplain of South Boulder Creek. The first, taken
by in July of 1937 by US Forest Service aerial survey crews, shows South Boulder
Road cutting across the upper third of the photograph and Cherryvale Road on the
right edge of the image. Some agriculture is evident in the broad floodplain,
but little housing. The image on the right was taken by a Soviet spy satelite
in July of 1987 from an altitude of over 200 km., shows U.S. 36 running diagonally
through the image.

Thank You!
BASIN was a community project which benefitted from over 1000 hours of
public volunteer time. BASIN was highlighted by the US EPA
in a national case study in its 2001 handbook Delivering Timely Environmental Information to Your Community.
Thank you to all volunteers, and especially to the late Jim Waterman, BASIN Project Coordinator!
