Historical Photographs: Communication Room

1953 Communicating with a mapping crew from a mobile trailer in Utah. William H. Chapman is seated at left; Warren "Buzz" Brown is standing on the right; Robert Stevenson is seated in the center. The field group included three helicopters, about 15 house trailers, mobile power supply, awater trailer, several collapsible "Chic Sales", wives, children, and two dogs. Their campsite on Robbers Roost Mesa, east of Hanksville, Utah, was selected because Charlie Pitt's truck broke an axle at this point. Also, the snow was getting too deep to go much farther.
