Iraqi Emplacement
Image taken 1/24/2001

In an area north of the city of Al-Basrah, Iraq, which borders Iran, a former wetland has been drained and walled off. Now littered with minefields and gun emplacements, it is a staging area for military exercises.

This emplacement can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 166 Row 39, center:30.31, 47.36.

Lines divide up the landscape, showing roads.
