The Summer 2011 USDA Aerial photo of Two Mile Ranch

Sometimes each summer or fall the USDA Aerial photo is taken and the folks at the GIS center at Iowa State University publish them, along with digitizing aerials from years gone by.

This year’s photo of Two Mile Ranch clearly shows what’s hard to see at ground level, the area of new habitats that was cleared, and replanted in a mix of native grasses and forbs.

Next year’s photo will include the Writer’s Loft barn, and if you look just north of the bend in the driveway, you can see the general area where it stands now
