2.1.1 Homesteads

2.1.1.2 Example 2

Location of Example: 151°17'33" East, 27°37'55" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • In Figure 2.1.1.2a the Buildings appear as rectangular elevated features, this is evident by shadow signatures. The Storage Tanks have a more linear narrow appearance but still exhibit the elevated shadow signatures.
  • In many cases the main access road to the Homestead may be lined with vegetation.
  • The cleared/dirt patch does not exhibit any shadow signature and should not be captured mistakenly as a Building.
Regional Considerations:
