- Description
This set of images of Thailand was acquired by the American Geographical Society from Robert Larimore Pendleton (1890 -1957), soil scientist and Professor of Geography at John Hopkins University. The pictures were taken during Pendleton 's research visits to Thailand from the mid 1930s to 1950s. Pendleton served as agricultural adviser to the United Nations FAO Mission to Siam [Thailand] in 1947-1948 and as the soil scientist at the US Mutual Security Agency's Special Technical and Economic Mission to Thailand in 1952-1953.
Between the Central Valley of Thailand and the Bangkok plain is a zone of hilly lands. Between the elevations are shallow depressions filled with alluvium, utilized for padies [paddies]. The low evelvations of un-irrigated poor soil are occupied by Nth Growth Forest. December 1951.
