High resolution imagery

[BenAllgood]

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved maps. Kentucky has released 3" high resolution for the entire state. It doesn't compare to drones, but it's still pretty cool.
Here's the link to the site for Kentucky https://explore.kyfromabove.ky.gov/ It's called "Oblique Imagery", so it may help you locate similar projects for your state.

Unfortunately i can’t get it to work on my phone. Did you have to use desktop?

It works on my phone, but better on a computer. There's a green magnifying glass on the left. click that and type in the nearest town. Click below that and it brings up the map of that point. You'll have to follow roads or some landmarks to navigate to your place.

Dang iPhones. Who uses those things?

Fantastic product! We should all be so lucky to have such a resource.
If you are a KY user the documentation pages are well done and worth your time to read.

Got on a laptop. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they’ve made it west far enough for me yet

Keep trying. They keep updating it. I was checking a place out to possibly buy with it. I found this on the neighbors.

The eye in the sky, big brother is watching.

My cool discovery this summer was just the opposite. I found there's aerial photographs of the whole county from 1937!

Our county has some from 1938. My 80 was about 1/2 cleared and my buddies to the North was about 90% field. Its all woods now.

All the online maps and navigation programs show a road through my families property. But there's no sign of it, and there was no sign of it in the mid 50's when my grandfather bought it. I thought for sure it would be on the 1937 photo, but it's not. There's "roads" , most likely farm trails all over the place, maybe a dozen, only one of which there's still a hint of today, but no road that Google and everyone else swears in there.
