How can I find the date of aerial photography used in Web Soil Survey?
To get the date of the aerial photography for a particular spot: • Click the Identify tool on the map tool bar. • Open the Legend tab. • Set the “Aerial Photography” background layer as the active layer, by clicking the layer name (leave the checkbox checked, and just click the name “Aerial Photography”). • Then click on the map. In the Identify panel below the map, you will see the date that the aerial photo you clicked was made. The aerial photography date(s) are also included on the Legend page of printable maps.
