DIGITAL ORTHOPHOTOS are available for download in MrSid format on our FTP site.  An Index Map is available within each orthophoto directory to help you locate which photo to download.

2005 Digital Orthophotos - There are now COLOR 200' scale aerials in MrSid format available from 2005.  Remember to download both the *.sid file and *.sdw file associated with each tile in order for each photo to line up correctly. 

2000 Digital Orthophotos - These were done in 2000 and are in MrSid format.  They are zipped and are black and white.

1974, 1984, 1995 Aerial Photos -  These are not complete sets, they are not georeferenced to fit with other GIS data, they are essentially just scanned photos of certain areas of the county.  There are indexes in each folder to help you locate which photo you may download (if avaialable).  If you don't see your area then we don't have it.
