2022 Aerials Now Available

A new set of "preliminary" aerials from Spring 2022 have been added to KGIS Maps These aerials are a by-product of the oblique photography capture conducted by  EagleView\Pictometry (on behalf of the Knox County Property Assessor's office and KGIS). The more accurate version of these aerials will be made available later this year.

These 2022 aerials can be toggled on by selecting "2022 Aerial Preliminary" theme in the  "Historical Aerials" section of the Maps panel. ( The default "Aerial" map theme of KGIS Maps still reflects the 2020 vintage aerials.)

While the 2022 aerial image is an accurate representation of ground conditions (at the time taken), it has not been fully rectified and should ONLY be used with the following understanding:

• The imagery has NOT been fully rectified to ground control and is not as accurate as a true orthophoto.
• The imagery may have breaks, gaps, and other issues. This is especially true around elevated features such as bridges and overpasses.
• Due to weather and ground conditions, the full project was acquired over a 2-3 month time period. Therefore, one will notice that some areas have more vegetatin than others.

2022 Aerial Oblique images are also available. Access them via the Launch...Pictometry tool in the blue command strip at the top of the KGIS Maps page.
