Current Aerial
Photography
NAPP
Our most popular and widest
coverage of current aerial photography comes from The National Aerial Photography Program. The
National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) provides a standardized set
of cloud-free aerial photographs covering the conterminous U.S. over
five-to-seven year cycles. The program began in 1987 and continues to
be our most recent and consistent source of high-quality aerial
photography.
The NAPP photographs were acquired from an altitude of 20,000 feet
at a scale of 1:40,000 (1"=3,333') and are available in black & white
(B/W) or
color infrared (CIR), depending on location and date. Each
photo is covers a ground area of thirty-two square miles.
The following standard print sizes and scales are available:
