This includes the towns of Klyuchi. Kresty, Ushki, Kosyrovsk. Kravchinskaya, and Kemald. Photography was generally good along the river valley, while the highlands on the high obliques were mostly obscured by heavy clouds. Owing to camera malfunction on the large- scale photography, every third frame was blank and a complete malfunction ex- tended from Kosyrovsk to Ushki. While this mission has been dated 19 June, actual photographing of the Kamchatha area took place on 20 June, owing to crossing of the International Date Line. The area was generally forest country, with snow in the highlands. Extensive logging operations were visible throughout the area. A probable communication or power line roughly paralleled the navigable Kamchatka river from south of Kosyrovsk to Klyuchi. River traffic, consisting of barges and small craft, was active. Agriculture was limited to small areas in the vicinity of towns or settlements.
