Ordering Aerial Maps

Information for ordering National High Altitude Program imagery is available through multiple government agencies. 

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) originally coordinated the program.  Their Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center site, gives background information about the filming, recording, quality, description and scale of the maps.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) also has aerial imagery available.  They give ordering instructions on their site. 

In addition to NHAP imagery, the USGS offers other options in aerial and satellite imagery. They note that this symbol  indicates the availability of downloadable data at no charge.

If you are looking for a local resource for high quality aerials, historical or current, INCOG sells a variety.  Check their Map Pricing page for availability and cost.
