As a tool for helping you to explore the history of your landscape, we have been digitizing and georeferencing historical (1942/46) aerial photographs of Columbia County. Much thanks goes to Otis Denner for the computer work and to the Columbia County Soil & Water Conservation District for providing us with access to the originals and for use of their facilities. We have not found any copies of a few photographs, especially around the mouth of the Ro Jan.

If your area of interest falls within the area we have processed, then send us an email describing the location of the property. We will then email you the image. Please specify whether or not you want a "georeferenced" image (georeferencing means that you can use the image in a GIS program such as Arc View). There is no cost for this, but please allow us a week or two to get to your request. We'll try to come up with a slicker, self-service approach to accessing the photographs once we're finished with the image processing.
