The aerial infrared photograph above was taken by the Bureau of Reclamation in July, 1995 and is at a scale of 1:12000. The red rectangles in the upper right corner of the photo are crop lands with darker shades of red showing greater vigor. The reflectent surface at the lower right of the photo is a corner of Tule Lake. On the left of the photo is sparsely vegetated wildlands. A canal can be seen near the center of the photo which conveys water to a pump which transfers the water to Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge from Tule Lake.

The aerial infrared photograph above shows a corner of the Tule Lake Lease Lands in the upper right corner of the image. Darker shades of red indicate increased plant vigor. Most of the photo shows the Lava Beds National Monument (darker color), including the road at the north entrance to the monument. Vegetation is light on the lava terrain because it is excessively drained. Sage brush and juniper can be seen as small red dots.

The center-right portion of the aerial infrared photographic image above shows irrigated agriculture within the Tule Lake Lease Lands.
