Historical Aerial Photos

[Travelover]

This is a pretty cool site if you live in one of the covered areas. Aerial shots from the 1960's to present. You can find your site of interest, then switch years.

Very cool. If anyone from Canada is looking for aerial shots, the National Archives has some online. I found some of my village from 1919.

We have aerial fly overs from 1934, it's pretty cool.
one thing you notice right away was that at many intersection, the corners were sweeping type turns in each direction. None of the modern 90 degree intersections, A hold over from horse and buggy days, I guess horses don't like tight turns

JB.

Thanks!

Depressing to see what once was my working farm in tip-top condition.

Wish I had some of those buildings back.

I bought one... put $200.00 down, picked the touch up colors... lost my job later and refused to pay the UPS guy who wanted the next $300.00 to deliver... Things are better now and I would glady take the photo now!

Eh? I thought it was an all digital transaction.

In another life during my miss spent youth I spent several summers on survey crews that were setting monuments and also locating identifiable points for aerial photos.

Those were interesting days.
