- 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.
Cultivated land along a distributary of the Nakorn Nayok river [Nakhon Nayok river], eastern part of the Bangkok Plain. The dark areas back from the channel are mostly uncultivated: silt-bearing water has not reached the land in sufficient quantity. The old soils of the Ongkarak series may also contain too much alum for even for padi [paddy] growing. T'ailand. January 1951.
