*Warning
It is best to download this collection of high resolution photos to your hard drive rather than open it inside your browser. (A standard click may automatically open the PDF file inside the browser but doing so will result in a very slow load.) For guidance on how to do this, go to [http://cpg.cr.usgs.gov/toolbox/download_advice.html]. Downloading the PDF file may take several moments but will be worth the wait. Once it is downloaded, open the PDF from your hard drive using Adobe Acrobat—it will load in a fraction of the time it would take to open the PDF over the Internet.
