Library Data Services caters to researchers interested in working with data, mapping, texts, visualization, and technology. Many of these services are available online. Davis Library Data Services, located on the second floor of Davis Library, offers:
The aerial photographs available from this site are from the United States Department of Agriculture.
The scale of these images is 1:20,000.
To download image(s), navigate the map below and click on an area of interest. A pop-up will provide a download link for the (zipped) aerial photo that covers the area. Note that there may be multiple images that cover the location clicked. The images are not georeferenced.
Alternatively, view a complete list of links to the aerial photo images and approximate bounding coordinates.
The images available for download are of higher quality than those shown in the index.
The index is not available at the highest zoom levels. If you zoom in too far and the index image disappears, just zoom out or reload the page.
This map was created by georeferencing and tiling images of the indexes that came with the aerial photos. Scans of the indexes are also available for download:
The map shows the approximate bounding boxes of individual aerial photos in the Libraries' collection. The bounding boxes are shown on top of the index maps that came with the aerial photos.
The image name, latitude/longitude coordinates of the approximate bounding box for each image, and download URL is provided below for accessibility purposes:
