Oblique aerial photographs of Smith Island, Virginia

Detailed Description

Oblique aerial photographs of Smith Island, Virginia. View looking west along Virginia's barrier-island shore. Very low dunes at this location allowed overwash to transport sand inland. Marsh was buried and marsh channels were filled with sand (green arrow). The yellow arrow in each image points to the same feature.
