Aerial Shot of A Portion of A Community Windbreak Pattern
Photograph of an aerial shot of a portion of a community windbreak pattern just west of Dill City. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Portion of a community windbreak pattern just west of Dill City, Oklahoma, in the North Fork of Red River Soil Conservation District. This is an area of sand soils often lacking uniformity to permeable depth. The uneven windbreak at the lower left particularly illustrates this variation in depth. The taller thriftier trees are growing in six feed of permeable soil while the shorter less vigorous stands are on soils as shallow as two feet. Note effective furrow and windbreak in center, right."
