STS068-237-099 (30 September-11 October 1994) --- This 70mm frame shows the Panama Canal (center, between the two dark green belts) the main ship way to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Also seen is a great deal of detail in Panama City (left center, on the Pacific Ocean coastline). Geologists studying the photography returned by Shuttle astronauts feel this picture is the best ever of the city. Agricultural fields can be seen on the east side of Panama City and on both sides of the Pan American Highway (the straight thin line extending to the left). Sedimentation in the Chepo River (upper left) is thought to be due to eroded soil from the agricultural lands near the sea. This river is surrounded by swamps lying along the Pacific coastline.

Note
A hand drawn and colored pictorial map of Panama, one of Tripp's most elaborate and beautiful maps - for some reason, he never published this map, although he offered it for sale in 1931 at the annual May Show at the Cleveland Museum of Art, along with all rights of publication. Tripp had a special interest in Panama and his wife, Gertrude Koehne Tripp was a former school teacher in the Canal Zone. The map has many views of important places in Panama, portraits of explorers, and a ring of figures that are described as zoomorphic images of the Chiriqui Indian Deities, surrounding the map of the country.
