But you don't need old photos. In mnay repects you don't even want them. What you want are recent photos with gps data attached.

Then you go through the old diary that says "That night we made camp near a big rock what looked like a punkin' and then the next morning went off and turned down the gully and it was a relief to get the morning sun out of our eyes.".

You might have to go though the photos yourself to find a selection of big rocks that are approximately pumpkin-shaped but then you have your computer see if there are gullies anywhere near them that run north or south. Repeat multiple times.
