That would be great. They have in the past, sent us a JPG of a printout of the coordinates. We just reject that, and tell them we insist on a text file. It is way too easy to transpose a digit and make ourselves nuts trying to figure it out.

This is mostly a shallow river with LOTS of sand and rocks and several ponds. It is going to be a royal pain to use plant coordinates.

There are literally dozens of sand and gravel mines in that part of Oklahoma. This one has been around for a long time. We had one customer call when I was still at my last job and wanted all the historical aerials we had of a site of the river. Her family ancestors had been deeded an island in the middle of the river by the Spanish government before there was a Mexico or USA. It was just a lot of gravel and some trees. The river changed courses during different floods and the island moved from Oklahoma to Texas and back. The legal border is the south side of the river bank. I always wondered how they paid property taxes, to Texas or Oklahoma or both.

She wanted aerial photos from the 1800 and I reminded her that airplanes were not invented until the Wright Brothers first flight in 1903. There were some aerial s from balloons in France before that, but not over Indian territory in the 1800s. We had it in the 1930s and 1950s and up to current date for her. The tragedy is the idiot son that inherited the business dumped all those negative in the trash.
