🇺🇸 Download geodata for USA
For USA we keep no copies of our own: every row leads to tile lists directly at the source, each tile with its capture date where the source gives one. So far the catalogue holds three states where aerial photos, laser scans and an image-based surface model are openly available together: Indiana, Alaska and Utah (there without an image-based model). The nationwide data (USGS 3DEP, NAIP) are still missing. Alaska's portal packages are only assembled on request; an interrupted download starts over. ArcticDEM is not an official aerial product but computed from satellite stereo images.
