Cool old pictures of Cowtown

Edit: Just saw the other thread. Oh well - it fits here too.

Sorry for super old thread bump but I'm looking for something someone posted a few years back. It was a bunch of real old aerial view photos of Calgary all stitched together. I'm pretty sure it was superimposed over google maps. I thought it was in this thread but I can't find it. Anyone have a link to that?

I don't know if this is what you're thinking of, but this does that: https://maps.calgary.ca/Crowchild/


You can switch between the aerial views from 1924, 1948, 1979, and today.

That's exactly it.


Thanks!

This link also has historical aerial imagery, it has 2017-2010, 2008, 2005, 1995, 1948 and 1924. Oddly it's missing the 1979 from the Crowchild link.

Thank you. That's even more useful for what I'm looking for.

It'd be great if more decades were represented. I put in a request in the feedback tab up top to at least add 1979 if possible.
