Digital prints at 800 PPI are available at $13.50 plus $10 if you want them on CD. Generally a photo covers an area of about 16 sections (4 x 4)

Diapositives are also a good option if you like planning on paper vs. computer. The website is pretty informative if you are computer literate and they are good in this office and can help you out if you aren't sure what product you need.

If you go to this link, it will show a picture of a plow that The Special Areas Board has available to it's residents. I have put in around twenty miles with it. http://www.specialareas.ab.ca/shallow.html

Posted in wrong topic, should have been in pipe plow ideas.

Intrepid, we are in the back of nowhere in western BC and our place comes up close and clear on Mapygon. On G Earth it gets fuzzy at 29000 ft.

Hi Intrepid. Just call the PFRA office in Hanna, Alberta. They have aerial photos of most land in the province. They will print them and mail to you free of charge. They did for me and some members of our Grazing Club. Works very well for planning your fencing.

Thanks Smgrath76. I contacted the airphotos branch and got digital images. The only bad thing is that the most recent time a plane flew over was in 98. They used to do it about every 4 years. I still havn't figured out how to get the image to work on oziexplorer. Guess I might have to read the help menu!

Thanks PureCountry. I will try calling PFRA and see what they have. Do you have to call Hanna or just the nearest one?
