Submitting a Historic Aerial Photo Request

The easiest way to submit an aerial photo request would be through the DDS DataFinder^TM application, which is located in the "Get a Quote" tab below. Please note that we are searching against millions of records, so specific photo years are helpful along with a brief description of what you are trying to review from the imagery or the intended use. You may also provide us with latitude/longitude coordinates, GIS files, or an address with a buffer (e.g., 1 mile radius from the centerpoint), and we will research availability and scales.
