Charles O'Rear (b. Nov. 26, 1941) is an American photographer who photographed for National Geographic magazine for more than 25 years. He was a contributing photographer to the Environmental Protection Agency's Documerica project in the early 1970s, during which time he traveled through several states.

Due to the size of Charles O'Rear's Documerica collection, it has been separated into three geographical sets. This album contains photographs taken in California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico from 1972-1975.
