Actually this is the best map. Created by my granddaughter when she was still in kindergarten (she's in high school now). I printed maps of the little trails on my property and we did "treasure hunts" on her visits. So, she made her own ("this is a map") from her home on the "NooYrk Side" to...

You can see the gun club property here, the green areas are public. https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#15/39.657100/-74.467038/darkstreets/0/0/

As I posted earlier, 1970 is the most complete coverage of these vintage aerials, because of the wetlands/tidelands and additional DVRPC imagery. Looks like this is as good as I can do from all the different sources. The Atlantic County and Delaware State aerials are very complete. Have overlaid...

Was just looking at that again. It actually shows much more than just a traffic circle! My version with the 1928 aerials doesn't show Route 38 at all... it hadn't been built yet, that area was still rural! You can see the dividing line between the 1928 and 1930's imagery on the east side of...

This is the clearest picture I've seen of the Estell house on Stephen Lake. Compare this to the 1980 aerials, all those buildings are long gone. Like I said, probably won't be making a map from these however. But you can directly access the 1940 Atlantic County aerials here.

Batsto 1940

Just noticed that Atlantic County also has 1940's aerials. Not sure where those would fit since nobody else has imagery from then. Quality seems to vary but some is quite good. Atsion 1940

As far as the Pines go, there really hasn't been any change in this new map. However, for the areas across the river from Philadelphia, I used the 1928 imagery where it was available. Have not taken any time at all to compare, but you can see some clear differences here, for example. The NJ...

This map has now been updated with 1924 NYC and 1928 Philadelphia imagery. The name has been changed, but old links to the 1930's aerials will still work, with an alert. I was initially concerned with the quality of the Philadelphia imagery, which is a muddy sepia. But it cleaned up real...

Thanks. Yeah, I saw that page and don't believe they have anything beyond NJGIN. I actually laughed when I saw they linked to Historical Aerials. And the link to NJGIN just gives a page not found error. On the website from some other county, vintage aerials turned up with a document search. The...

Atsion from the 1970 Atlantic County aerials. The resolution isn't as good on these.

Have spent some time on this, and the biggest take-away is that those Atlantic County 1957 aerials are terrific. Really wish other counties had those, but haven't been able to find any more. Have downloaded them all now, coverage goes well beyond Atlantic County, but not as far as I'd like...

You might also enjoy this dataset: https://gisdata-njdep.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/njdep::surficial-geology-of-new-jersey/about That's what I used to display the geology in my pinesXT app, but unfortunately I don't cover that far North. However, you can access the map directly here and it...

Found this while looking for more vintage aerials. I'm sure some of you are already familiar with it, but I hadn't seen this web page before. Lots of good stuff here, although permission is only granted for private viewing. https://geography.rutgers.edu/historical-maps-of-new-jersey

Atsion in 1957. The Atlantic County imagery has some coverage beyond the county line. :)

Funny how one thing leads to another and sometimes things just fall into place. Atlantic County has some very nice aerials on a county website, we've discussed in the past here. I looked a few years ago and found metadata that said they were public domain but couldn't find any way to download...

Do you mean this area? We've discussed before and IIRC concluded that terraserver was using this same 1990's NAPP imagery, processed in black and white and highly compressed for the slow internet speeds back then. This map should be higher quality since we don't need to compress so highly now.

Note: I split this from another thread discussing the 1930's aerials since it's going to be a whole new project! Well, I went down a rabbit hole and apparently ended up in a big cavern! There really are a lot of vintage aerials at DVRPC. This is the coverage of the 1959 aerials, for example...
