    Photo interpretation of an oak wilt center (MESA I) in Austin, TX, made from 1:24,000 scale cole-infrared aerial photography. Tree crowns, houses, streets, and locations of underground utilities are depicted in the drawing. Expansion of the disease center can be seen during the years 1982-1987.
