AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN USED IN MAINE IN THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF HIGHWAY LOCATION STUDIES: (1) PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES FOR PORTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM, (2) DETAILED STUDY OF PROPOSED ROUTE LOCATIONS, AND (3) RELOCATION STUDIES FOR SECONDARY ROADS. THE INTERSTATE ROUTE STUDIES INCLUDED SOILS, ROCK EXCAVATION, GRAVEL SOURCES AND HAUL DISTANCE, AND DRAINAGE CONDITIONS. CHANGES IN P-LINE WERE MADE TO AVOID PEAT OR MUCK. THE DETAILED STUDY OF A PROPOSED ROUTE INCLUDED THE PREPARATION OF LARGE SCALE ENGINEERING-SOIL STRIP-MAPS. THE RELOCATION STUDIES FOR SECONDARY ROADS INCLUDED INFORMATION REGARDING SOILS, GRAVEL SOURCES AND DRAINAGE. /AUTHOR/
