KEY OBSERVATION POINTS AND INVENTORY OBSERVATION POINTS The following Key Observation Points (KOPs) and Inventory Observation Points (IOPs) are included in this document. KOPs are photographs that can be used for visual simulations, and IOPs are photographs that provide representative views of existing visual conditions. Some photographs were taken at the same location, sometimes with different views, for multiple observation points. These locations have been organized in this document by route alternatives and substations. Appendix A provides the location of these KOPs and IOPs.
