Hennepin County MN 2004 aerial views !!

[wjstix]

IF you happen to model (or are interested in) Minneapolis and it surrounding county, this might be interesting. Basically the entire county has been photographed from the air (satellites?) and you can view it in quite sharp detail - in looking at BNSF's Northtown yards, I could read the lettering on some of the containers. It's pretty neat, you can see the ties on the rail lines, I'm sure you could even do the measurements to calculate what frog no. the turnouts are !!

Just click on the link below, then click on the city or part of the county you want to see in the map. You have to go down the bottom four "zoom" levels to see the actual pics.

OH !! Once you zoom in, you have to click on "2004 Aerials On" !!
