BLM CDD Tasks GeomorphIS to Map Desert Training Center Sites

The BLM California Desert District (CDD) has tasked the GeomorphIS/ PaleoWest team to develop an ESRI geodatabase and site map for Camp Iron Mountain, a part of the WWII-era Desert Training Center (DTC) established by Gen. George Patton. The GeomorphIS/PaleoWest team will use aerial imagery previously collected by an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) to develop and test methods for mapping large-scale historic resources that can be used on other DTC sites. This project will add to the ongoing effort to document and nominate the DTC and its individual components to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
