We could have satelital images of our cities in 1940...
But well, at least for Buenos Aires, it is possible!!!
The local government has created a web page with diverse maps of the city, and between many options, is of seeing air images of the city in 1940...
This is the link, you can visit it, but the page is in Spanish, and is not so simple to use as Google Maps, then I will put a few images:
First of everything, a general map of the city
Then, we do a zoom to a sector. We can see the "regular" map
We can see the "regular" map
Later, we choose the option "Aereal images of 1940 " and...
Here it is!
a zoom in...
We also can see a satelital image of the same sector nowdays...
Finally, some comparisons of 1940 vs 2004; as you can see, some changes are dramatical
A small 9 de Julio Avenue
A HUGE 9 de Julio Avenue
A calm neighborhood
An important crossing of highways!
A rural way
A modern highway
The middle of nothing
A nice neighborhood
The coast of the river, 1940
The coast of the river, 2004
Warehouses of the railroad company
Financial district
I hope that you have enjoyed the "time-travel" and I wait for your comments!!
