Most of the old aerials are not very sharp due to a lot of factors, not the least of which was the film. A few, however, are extremely good and have been notated so you know most of the streets and avenues. These were of the latter quality wise. Somewhere, I have an aerial of Roswell, NM taken about 1930. It is so good you can see the people on the sidewalks. If I can (re)find it, I'll post it.
