Does anybody know of a source for aerial photography that has more up to
date imagery than Terra Server? Most of the stuff from my area is from 1992. That is way too old. Along one valley there are new lakes that didn't exist in 1992, and along the main Colorado River valley some things change a little bit almost daily with noticable changes every year, and huge changes in flood level years. Now even more drastic is the extreme low water levels in many of the deep canyon reservoirs along the river. I already looked at Terra Server's subscription service. It just gives you access to the highest resolution images. Its probably worth it in some areas just for the detail it gives. Their examples certainly look like it, but I really need newer images. Preferrably this year. -- Public Fishing & Boating Forums Fishing & Boating Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com |

I'm guessing that there's something similar in the states. Anyway, it's worth a shot. Mark Currie |

This isn't what you asked for, but it's pretty cool. Click on the map & it will zoom down & list lakes, rivers, etc. along the left side of the page. (There's a "Themes" button you can click to tell it what tytpes of landmarks you want listed.) The map itsself isn't much more useful than Mapquest, but you can click on a lake on the left side & it will display the area for you.
http://tinyurl.com/3g4fy Another cool site I stumbled across today is http://waterdata.usgs.gov/az/nwis/rt (this is the Arizona page, but the site covers the entire U.S.) It gives info about stream flow, water depth, etc. & is updated every 4 hours. For example, you can see (in data or graph form) current conditions at: - Colorado River below Laguna Dam - Yuma Main Canal - North Gila Main Canal - Titsink Canal Uncle Dave Uncle Dave's Fishin' and Lyin' Emporium http://www.commonfolks.com/UncleDavesFishin "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ...
