[...] For me our home search has included an obsession with maps of Oakland, maps of the school district, maps of crime, creek maps, the original land grants, present day house values, etc…. This morning I found a KML file for Google Earth that overlays aerial photographs of Oakland, CA from 1946/48. [...]
I am very interested in the aerials of Oakland from 1948. How do I access them? I have Google Earth on my iMac. Thanks,
@Stuart – Just click on the Download button on the post. You should be able to turn on/off the aerials from the menu on the left by checking boxes next to the ones you want to see. If that’s not working, let me know.
Thanks! Awesome!
RE: Chicago Imagery
I noticed that you have included the downtown and nearby surrounding area. I will be eagerly looking forward to the inclusion of more of the available 1938 imagery.
At this time I don’t have any plans to add more imagery to the Chicago area. Maybe in future.
Do you have aerial photos of Lake Tahoe from about 1985
Sorry, I don’t have aerials for tahoe for 1985. But you might try usgs. Google USGS Earth Explorer. They probably have it.
How do you view the historical aerials on New York City?
NRCS or USGS would probably be best bet. Environmental Data Resources might also have coverage back that far if you’re willing to pay for it.
