Infrared aerial map - Property in South Carolina





 

This map is an infrared aerial map of a property in South Carolina.  The tracts that make up portions of the map are for the potential buyer – the website explains where each tract is and what the borders are.  The colors on this infrared map allow the viewer to assess what type of land is in this area – the red indicates vegetation (from the looks of it, the vegetation on the west side is a bit healthier compared to that on the east side – the red shade is darker on the west side than on the east side).  The moisture content in the soil towards the center and east side of the map (blueish-gray color) is lower than in the rest of the area.  These sorts of maps are very helpful for someone who wants a quick overview of the characteristics of the area.
