1955 aerial photograph of the farm site that was selected for construction of the AEC's headquarters building. This 109-acre site was located at the junction of Maryland State Route 118 (the road running horizontally) and the Washington National Pike, Route 240 (the road running vertically), near Germantown, Maryland. The drumstick-shaped wooded area near the bottom right of the photo, next to Route 240, is the forest through which the Glenn Seaborg Trail now runs, that was the subject of a forest survey during the summer of 2000.
