I'd like to get a new satellite map or aerial photo of my farm. I've used TerraServer in the past but they have not updated their maps since 1999 and I'd like something more current.
Google seems to have updated their online mapping in the summer of 2006 and things look great there, but I have not figured out how to order a large map from them that focuses on my property.
Have any suggestions outside of hiring an air service?

Hey Spring...come by my office in Leesburg in the next few weeks and I should be able to pull you up what you need.

Farm Service Agency in Leesburg, just south of courthouse.

Thanks, Hank!

The last time I was at the DEA I think I saw some Sat photos of your farm.

Sorry could not resist.

you cant beat this place if your on it,but it has a limited coverage area in birds eye view.

No making comments about how Spring makes his living, supplimenting your income is a God given right.....I mean just the other day I was out at the meth lab and.....oh wait...never mind forget I said anything. I was never here.

JB,
That is a great site, especially when you're using it in heavily populated areas, but out in the sticks it doesn't offer the bird's eye view and the satellite maps are as of 1999. They may have updated their satellite views in some parts of the country, but as is normal around here, we'll be the last to get the latest version!

Some of us will take publicity in whatever form we can get it!

just imagine if you could check out your hunting area in birds eye!

For great topographic maps try mytopo.com If memory serves they have aireal photography too but it may be dated depending on your area. Good hunting.

Google Earth is pretty damned amazing. You can see individual vehicles when zoomed in. Talk about virtual scouting...Dunno' how to order from them, as I usaully just print what I need, but I'd wager there is a way to do it...

Try this site at mytopo.com.

I think marijuana fields show up in green and meth labs in red.
