University of California, Santa Barbara Aerial View-- looking northwest

An aerial view of the campus looking towards the northwest, with the foot hills in the distance at the top of the photograph. The residence halls Anacapa and Santa Cruz appear to be under construction in the front of the photograph, as well as the science building, Noble Hall. Farther in the distance, the Arts building and Robertson Gymnasium also appear to be under construction. This photograph emphasizes the rural nature of the early campus, with very little development taking place in the neighboring areas.
