Historical Aerial Imagery

OC Survey has created a GIS application that allows users to view historic aerial imagery throughout Orange County. This easy to use application contains imagery from hundreds of aerial surveys throughout the past 50+ years as well as Countywide imagery from various years including 1938, 1947, and 1952. This is an ongoing project and more imagery will be added in the future. Click on the image below to view:
