What did my neighborhood look like?

Did you ever wonder what your neighborhood looked like?
If you live in Georgia there is a resource in the Georgia Digital Library that can show you!

Georgia Aerial Photographs
The photos and indexes are from the Map Room of the University of Georgia Libraries, which has a collection of 225,000 aerial photographs of Georgia covering the period from 1938 through the 1980s. The photographs and indexes were originally produced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). Indexes and photography produced by the U. S. Geological Survey will also be available.

For a relatively current look at your neighborhood you can go to Google for satellite maps- do a search for satellite maps.

TerraServer
is another site that has satellite maps http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx


Check out your neighborhood from the air without flying!
