Chaco Canyon, New Mexico
Prehistoric Roadways
The images above, shows two false color composites of TIMS data. The
Chacoan roads are the linear features fanning out from the lower right hand
corner. The yellow lines are current day roadways. The current roads follow
topography, and the path of least resistance in construction. Conversely,
the prehistoric roads are strikingly linear.
The image below combines TIMS data with topographic features.
