Photologs were essentially an early, film-based version of Google Street View. Almost every state had one of these photolog programs with tricked-out vans logging every mile of road in their state, with some dating back to 1961. 

While digging through the Internet Archive, I discovered the crispest, most beautiful photologs I've ever seen—captured in San Diego during the 1970s.
