On-line Maps Locate Aerial Photographs

Maps showing locations of each aerial photograph may be viewed on-line. An example shows Cormorant Township, Becker County, MN.

NAPP photographs are about 9 inches by 9 inches square. An example shows the photo number 0961E-728 which covers the southeast corner of Cormorant Township, Becker County, the southwest corner of Lake Eunice Township, Becker County in the top half of the phtograph and Otter Tail County town of lower half. (NOTE: The full height of the photograph is not shown due to scanner limitations. Also, detail has lost since the file size has been reduced to decrease file loading time.)
