I came across this site that has been helping me find some areas to MD in. Its called Historic Aerials It may not show aerials photos that are very old. But for my area they go back to 1957. It has a tool that you can move a Swipe marker and compare two different years photos. It can also overlay current streets. See below... The below photo shows mostly what the area looks like today.

Depending on Aerial Imagery of the area you live you might be able to see back in time.

Type in your address in the area for that in the Left upper side of your browser.

When the image loads you will see a bunch of dates on the right side. Those are the dates of Aerial Imagery available for your area. I was lucky they have Imagery from 1957 - 2006 available.

You can select Compare Tools and SWIPE then a window will load with dates on both the left and right side. A RED arrow will also load in the center top of the Image.

Once it loads you can select different dates on each side and SLIDE the Arrow from left to right to view the differences in the Images as you move the arrow.

If you go back to the main Imagery view you can select Survey Tools and PLOT LAT / LON to get exact coordinates to load in to your GPS.]]> Old Navy Guy Maps & Mapping ForumWed, 14 Apr 2010 12:50:12 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?69,1187547,1193400#msg-1193400 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?69,1187547,1193400#msg-1193400 osok43 Maps & Mapping ForumMon, 12 Apr 2010 01:12:13 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?69,1187547,1190480#msg-1190480 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?69,1187547,1190480#msg-1190480(This message does not contain any text.)

I'm using this tool to find areas to MD and hone my skills. It is against the law in my county to MD on County Owned land. Hopefully I can get permission from some land owners to MD in the wooded areas.

I hope the above site will help others.
