Aerial Photography
The Portland District has been collecting aerial photographs of the Pacific Northwest since 1929. We typically have aerial coverage from 1936 through 2004. Our aerial coverage includes the vast majority of urban areas within the Oregon. This urban coverage includes commercial, residential, agricultural, recreational and industrial properties along the majority of navigable waterways.
Our collection contains a wide variety of film types and scales. We have about 275,000 aerials easily located by a well designed and maintained indexing system. Our collection increases each year with the addition of new Corps projects and missions.
Normally, there is a fee charged to the customers for the time involved to aid in searching and retrieving the required photos. The fee is $40 per hour ($20 per half hour) plus the cost of any copies ($5.00 per scan for digital copies or the commercial rate for photographic enlargements).
