Dallas Center IA 515-720-2463 | Friends,
I am looking for websites that have old aerial photos
of farmland, or just aerial photos of the countryside.
By old I mean 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s.
There is a site for Iowa that has 1930s photos, as well as 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and then a lot taken in the last 20 years.
Missouri is the state I am most interested in. However if any state has such a web site I would like to know about it.
One of my Grandfathers had a sawmill and logging business in Shannon County Mo in the 1920s. Really would like to see what it looked like then, as far as percent of the land covered with trees.
The timber land that he owned is all pasture now.
The Iowa site:

Below are links to my farm in Dallas County Iowa.
For the 30s, 50s and 60s.
The 30s are about 1937 or 38.
I don't really know when the 50s pic were taken.
THe 60s were shot early, like 1961.
Can't get the 70s one to work.
And the 80s pics are not very good.
The attached pic is a Google taken June 5 of 2011.
