Archived Historic Photographs from the Dept. of Conservation Recreation

Riverways has compiled a series of historical aerial photos from a variety of sources, digitally scanned and geo-referenced these to be used in a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to be analyzed. If you would like to have the geo-referenced images for use in a GIS, please contact us. These files are very large and we would send them on a few CDs.
