Digital scans of the "Mosaic of Wabash River, Indiana: Terre Haute to Logansport". Taken by the US Army Corps of Engineers, these are the very first aerial photos ever taken for commercial use. For further information, see:

The Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) has created the "Indiana Historical Aerial Photo Index" (IHAPI) interactive map to facilitate the identification and retrieval of historical aerial photographs. More than 950 large-format photomosaic index maps in the IGS archive were scanned and georeferenced, and then mosaicked to produce 466 county-based images dating from the 1930s to the 1980s. From these images, a point index was created showing the upper-right corners of 113,035 individual historical aerial photographs. The interactive map allows users to easily locate a site of interest and determine unique identification numbers for individual photos. Copies of the photos can then be ordered from various archival collections, including the IGS archive.
