On 1/11/72 SA WICK, Olympia RA, was furnished with a copy of the map supplied by [REDACTED] and contact was made with the Department of Natural Resources, Olympia. It was determined that the entire area outlined by [REDACTED] was the subject of an aerial survey in 1968. Approximately 30 photographs give complete coverage of the area in question and are sold at $1.25 per photo. Further SA WICK is securing, in addition to the photos, detailed maps made from the photos which can be used in conjunction with the photos for complete familiarization with the search area as it existed in 1968. It was pointed out by the Bureau of Natural Resources that there should be no major radical changes in the area since the last fly over. SA WICK was advised to purchase the photographs and it is felt the expenditure of the money for the photos and maps will not exceed $50 and in view of the magnitude and importance of the search is a legitimate expenditure of Bureau funds.
---
The above mentioned maps are being sent to the Longview RA this date.

In the event it is deemed advisable to make a fly over the prime search area set out by [REDACTED] for a general view of the terrain prior to a ground search [REDACTED] at Longview, Washington, [REDACTED] and extremely familiar with the area of the search, is available on an hourly or daily rental basis. It is felt that such a fly over would be advantageous for general layout information on the area and the cost of such service would not exceed $50 per hour which sum could probably be negotiated to a lower amount on a daily basis.
---
Facilities are available at the Longview Post Office for mounting the photographs and maps in proper sequence to enable personnel to be properly briefed on general terrain features and prime search area and the civil service examining room can be made available for such briefing.
---
It is to be noted that in the event interpretation of the above mentioned photographs in stereo is necessary personnel at the Battleground District office of the Department of Natural Resources are available with sufficient photo copies to perform this task.
