Buffalo Park Aerial Views

Fortunately, there is at least one aerial view of Buffalo Park that we know of.  It is the color postcard shown below.  We are currently bidding to buy the postcard from an eBay seller.  If we can obtain the postcard, we can learn much about the actual "as built" layout of the original Buffalo Park in the mid to late 1960's.

Also, fortunately, Buffalo Park Power User Neil Weintraub has taken a liking to our project.  On March 15, 2020,  Weintraub used his drone to capture two aerial views of the park.  Once we have the 1960's aerial view in hand, we will be better able to work with Weintraub to create meaningful "then & now" views how the original park layout compares to today's alignments and facilities.
 The eBay scan for this postcard is very low resolution.
 Weintraub's drone is capable of high resolution, wide angle photography.
Weintraub's drone photography will allow us to inspect specific areas of the park.
