Good news: I followed Lassig's directions and actually found my place.

Bad news: Photos look about the age of all the other satellite images available for my place...few years old. This one was at least a Summer image so everything was green and lush...

Any clues when updated info would be available?



Nebraska was mapped this year so sometime next year, that mapping should be available. This shows the status of 09 mapping as of 11/10.

http://www.fsa.usda.gov/Internet/FSA_File/2009_naipstatusmap_8-13.pdf

Here is the home page to all of this information

http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/apfoapp?area=home&subject=landing&topic=landing

Lots of good info here, I just from this this morning and poking around it have learned alot.

You can get electronic versions of the NRCS maps by going to http://gis.apfo.usda.gov/naipcoverage/ and hiting the print button on the page once you have the map image you want displayed on the page. Once the print image comes up right click on it and click on save image as. The data for NE is from 07 with 09 data available in the spring of 2010. You want want to hold off and wait for the 09 data to be available. CHeck this out and see if it meets your needs.

I don't think this link provides the most current info. I zoomed in on our property and the aerial is more than 3-4 years old. The strip maps I requested from NRCS this past winter are from 2008.

Brettski,

Is there another name for the strip maps? Not finding anything referenced on the NRCS site with that name. Looking for them is how I turned up this other information. Just like in essup case I am not understanding why you are seeing 3-4 year old information. The NAIP maps where updated in 2007 and made available in 2008. The map shown for my place is 2007, since it shows work that I did in the spring of 07. This is a puzzle that I guess I have to dig deeper into tonight. One of those things that I would like to understand better.

My dirt guy called it a strip map (he worked in the NRCS office some years prior). When I called the NRCS office, they knew what I was looking for.
My guess is that the website does not receive the same attention as the actual NRCS offices.

Followed up the the NRCS - they told me I'd have to contact the USDA next door. Said they'd be happy to provide me with a recent aerial of the place, but to make sure to bring my deed to prove I owned it[?]. Whatever, so I did.

Well, I saw a pic of my place about June 09 - better than nothing, but they wouldn't copy it to CD or do anything but print on a sheet of paper. Unbelievable. So, guess I'll be waiting for Google to update or pay arrange something else.

Main pond was about 2/3 full in the pic - she's full now.

You can barely discern my .2 acre Magnolia Crappie pond hidden in the Cedars and Cottonwoods.

Top two ponds were dry, obviously, but are serving as my SMB and RES/BG repro ponds. All are now full.

He just needs to be creative. Maybe paint a sign on the ground that says Terrorist Training Camp.

Guys I get approached every couple of years to purchase aerial photos of my property. I turned down the last one and I'm glad I did. An actual pilot vs. a sales person showed up with a picture that was not totally vertical that looked much better than the last one. Without the frame it's $89.00 and he will be back with the full size photo soon. I'd be happy to post it here as it looks really cool! Cash only but he'll give me notice before he comes so I'll have the right amount on hand.

BTW, if a door-to-door aerial photograph salesman ever shows up, remember their speculative picture of your property is worthless if you don't buy it. There is a lot of room for negotiation. We got a nice pic of our place for $65 this way that was "water damaged" and "had to be written off". \:\)

Very true and I did negotiate. Another way to save money is to ask how much it is without the frame. The frames are really marked up and I can do that myself.

Try this one out. Hold left click you can move the page around. Mine is the one with the dock , barn and white house. You can see most of the USA. They get touchy at the nuke plants. You can zoom in too. Some areas my not have the birds eye view. Just put your address in and see if you get the birds eye view. Change the compass for a diiferent time the pic was taken.

We've had several of these aerial photographs done over the years.
There is a commercial business that comes every four years and we have bought from that setup twice....very pricey but you do know beforehand when they will be in the area. (Their pictures are protected and you're not supposed to copy etc. etc.) They are hard-sell and not too negotiable. However, there are the ones that come without warning peddling aerial photos and those you can negotiate with as they are 'stuck' with the photos, unfortunlately, this guy came less than a month after the first-class company came by so he left with nothing as quite honestly other than tlaler corn and beans there wasnt much difference.
I also had a pilot that does aerails for our company that I was in the line of flight and had him take aerial photos ($125) and they were just as good as the commercial ones. And those I can copy/crop etc all I want. Resolutions are not as good but still very much quality photos.

I thought I had posted the aerial photo I got (I actually got two of them) but I don't see it in this thread. Must have posted it in another thread. I promised one in this thread so here goes. I gave one to my parents that are in Florida for the winter and they loved it.

I hope to get aerial photo's of the pond this summer when I finish building my Catalina flying boat. Not sure which remote camera to get, there are quite a few on the market.

Are you going to strap the lighter cat on board.

I have a remote control fan boat that is fun to ride around on the pond. That plane looks like a ball! My dad used to really be into remote control planes.

Yeah, you can dump alot of money into RC, I've been doing it for 12 years but I keep it reasonable, only 1 plane destroyed so far.
We have one guy in the club who crashes 6 or 7 a year, but he is a fantastic plane re-builder. ;\)

Be sure not to invade the GSF Deathstars area.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Sometimes Bing is more current on aerial photography than Google and sometimes not.

See Map and look at top left, click on "Aerial"

Aqua Control offers aerial mapping. This is used for fountain and aerator projects, but this tool can be used for just about anything.

We might be able to take care of you because we have a plane. Let me know if you want to update your photos.
