Aerial Photographs and Maps

Aerial photos are sometimes helpful in documenting property development. In Guilford County, the oldest series of photos dates to about 1936. For information in the county, consult the "yellow pages" of the telephone directory for "Photographers--Aerial" for listings. Some public agencies such as the Guilford County mapping department also have aerial photos on file, and public archivists usually can assist in locating them. Commercial map companies may have historic maps and atlases of interest to researchers. Consult the telephone directory yellow pages for information on them. Historian Fred Hughes developed a map of Guilford County as it may have looked at the time of the Revolutionary War, depicting landowners early in the history of the county. The Hughes map may be helpful for those with rural properties, although it is not exact.
