Current Applications
The Land Records Department is using digital orthophotography to assist in tax parcel mapping and E911 addressing.  Each application relies on digital imagery to capture the locations of various features.

Imagery is commonly acquired by residents for a birds-eye view of their property, hunting activities, crop\field determinations, and general property identification. 

Imagery acquired from Trempealeau County should never be used to resolve boundary disputes or replace a legal document such as a Deed or Certified Survey Map.

Availability
We have complete aerial coverage of the county for the years 2000 and 2006.  In addition, historical aerial imagery may be available upon request.  Please contact the Land Records Department for further information.
