Hamilton County has unveiled a new Imagery Hub, a centralized online platform offering public access to high-resolution aerial imagery and historic geospatial datasets. The hub is part of a broader effort by the county to increase transparency, support data-driven decision-making, and foster innovation through open access to authoritative mapping data.

The new platform allows users—including city and county agencies, developers, and residents—to easily access and explore aerial imagery, land cover, and elevation data. It integrates seamlessly with Hamilton County’s recently upgraded Map Viewer, which supports both 2D and 3D interactive visualizations.

“Our new Imagery Hub isn’t just a place to view aerial maps—it’s a key part of a broader initiative to provide an essential educational resource that helps users understand the specifications, accuracy, and real-world value of Hamilton County’s certified digital imagery,” said Joan Keene, GIS Director for Hamilton County. “It’s a data engine for growth, equity, and sustainability.”

Future enhancements to the platform are already in the works, including sections dedicated to LiDAR elevation data, artificial intelligence-driven land cover change detection, and advanced 2D and 3D machine learning data products.

With these upgrades, the county hopes to further expand the utility of the Imagery Hub for professional users and the public alike.
