Coastal Zone Aerial Photography
The CRM Program maintains and distributes a library of digital aerial photographs. In the recent years, the program has acquired aerial imagery annually in both coastal zones. Three different types of data products are available, including:
- High-altitude Overhead (or straight-down) Aerial Photography (AP) - Each frame covers a wider area of land, showing less detail on the ground. High-altitude shows the entire coastal zone boundary.
- Low-altitude Overhead AP - Each frame covers a smaller area, but is very detailed. Low-altitude covers only shoreline areas and does not extend significantly inland.
- Oblique Photography - Images of the shoreline are captured at a diagonally-downward angle. The most recent oblique imagery is available for download below.
Digital files are available on a request basis and may take time to complete. To request imagery, please e-mail J. Samantha Burton at jenburton@pa.gov. The following files are available:
- Lake Erie Coastal Zone - High-altitude overhead (1990, 1996, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013), Low-altitude overhead (1978, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012), Obliques (1994, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 Spring, 2011 Fall, 2013, 2015, 2017)
- Delaware Estuary Coastal Zone - High-altitude overhead (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 orthophotos, 2012) Low-altitude overhead (2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013) Obliques (2008, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016)
