NEWS
As part of the Indiana GIS Atlas, the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) has created a new interactive map to facilitate the identification and retrieval of historical aerial photographs. Named the “Indiana Historical Aerial Photo Index” (IHAPI) map, the interactive map allows users to easily locate a site of interest and determine unique identification numbers for more than 113,000 individual photos. Copies of high-resolution photos can then be ordered from various archival collections, including the IGS archive which contains about 40,000 photos. Explanatory materials and a narrated video tutorial have been created to assist users with this new Web site.
