The pictures on this site show the Northern California coast in the 1970s. They’re from a project called Documerica, funded by the EPA to photograph subjects of environmental concern.

To read more about this project, go here, or browse their searchable database at the Documerica Series of the National Archives. The images are fascinating and in the public domain.
