Abstract:

This City of Mississauga aerial photography covers the area of Mississauga. These photos are in black and white, and were taken in April of 1983 by the Northway-Photomap Inc at a scale of 1:8,000.

The first aerial surveys of Mississauga were undertaken in 1944. Since then, the city has produced aerial photography every five to ten years until 2002, when it became annual.

Note: These are individual tiles that have no geolocation associated with them. A mosaic is not available for this year. Available for download are the original ECW files, as well as TIF files, located in folders that correspond with the original file name.

Process step:

The original format of the raster image are .ecw and .ers.

The digitized Aerial Imagery was originally stored by the City of Mississauga in ERMapper ECW format. In most cases, a single orthometric file covers the entire city area. All maps use rectangular coordinate values expressed in metres and based on the 6 degree Universal Transverse Mercator system, NAD 1983. Aerial imagery for Mississauga is available from 1944 to present. Original images from 1986 to 2003 used the North American 1927 (NAD27) datum. No datum information is known for images prior to 1986. Images prior to 1986 were projected to the NAD83 datum by the City of Mississauga.
