Information

Access Milwaukee County Oblique Photography

The American Geographical Society Library has negotiated a single seat of access to the CONNECTExplorer product for viewing Milwaukee County oblique photography. This product needs to be used at the AGSL and requires a login.  Use the links above to schedule a GIS consultation or e-mail gisdata@uwm.edu to set up a time to use the product.

According to the A to Z GIS dictionary (ESRI Press), an oblique photograph is "an aerial photograph taken with the axis of the camera held at an angle between the horizontal plane of the ground and the vertical plane perpendicular to the ground."  This allows for analysis not possible with a typical orthophoto (straight down) such as measuring building heights and calculating relief. 

See the documentation to get an idea of what is possible with this unique resource!
