Parcel Viewer Updated: New Aerial Imagery from NYS

New aerial imagery can now be seen on the Cattaraugus County Interactive Parcel Map.

Dan Martonis, GIS Coordinator, stated, “These images were taken in the spring of 2007 by plane and supplied by New York State. They are 100% color, 1ft resolution in the City of Salamanca down to the City of Olean area, and 2ft resolution for the rest of the county. So not as good as the 2006 imagery, but more up-to-date and with less alignment error.”
