Dirt Flight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of a Louisiana parcel, enter the parish and the APN. The boundary is drawn from parish assessor parcel data and the pack renders in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video and a contour map. Nobody flies out, so there is no travel charge, and all 64 parishes render.

Wet, drier, and wet again by season.
In Louisiana the difference between a hunting tract and a flooded one is a couple of feet, and it changes with the month. Buyers want to see the sloughs, the ridges, the pipeline right of way, and where the water sits when it sits. Standing at a gate off the highway tells you none of that.
Parish assessor parcel data is what the boundary is drawn from, so coverage here is complete rather than partial. A tract in Tensas Parish renders in the same ten minutes as a lot in East Baton Rouge Parish, and sloughs, cypress and cutover read clearly from above.
Boundaries are approximate, from public parcel data, and are not a survey.
One APN. Everything below.
One parcel, one APN. Hardwood on the ridge, slough across the back, and a pipeline right of way cutting the northeast corner.
Everything in the pack
This is the whole Louisiana delivery.
Every view below came back from one parcel number, in about ten minutes, with no pilot and no site visit.
Where Louisiana land actually trades.
These are the ones land buyers ask for most, each with its own page.
Do not see your parish? Every one of the 64 renders. Send the APN and it comes back the same ten minutes.
Asked by people selling Louisiana ground.
Which Louisiana parishes can you do?
Send the parish and the APN and we go straight to that parish's own parcel records. Coverage varies: some states publish one statewide layer, others leave it parish by parish. If yours is one where the records are not public, you hear it from us before anything is charged.
How much does a drone photographer cost for a rural Louisiana listing?
Dirt Flight is not a drone photography service, so this is not our fee. A Louisiana pilot quotes the shoot plus the drive, and getting to a tract past the last gravel is its own line item. Dirt Flight renders the parcel from licensed aerial imagery and public elevation data instead of sending anyone up in the air, so there is no travel charge, no scheduling and no weather day.
Will wet ground and sloughs show up?
They do. Sloughs, cypress, sitting water and the darker ground that stays wet all read from above, and the contour map shows which way it drains. On Louisiana hunting ground that is the first thing a buyer asks about.
Can you show timber type and cutover?
At a broad level, yes. Pine plantation, hardwood bottom, recent cutover and replant rows are all visible from above, and the boundary shows exactly which of it is inside your line. It is not a cruise or a timber appraisal.
How recent is the imagery on a Louisiana parcel?
One to three years, and the date is on the pack rather than buried in a footnote. A recent cutover or a newly cut pipeline lane will not appear until the next flight. If something changed on the ground recently, say so in the listing text.
What exactly comes back for a Louisiana APN?
Six pieces: the outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, the 18 second orbit, a contour map, a context map and a parcel info sheet. Paydirt adds road frontage views, infrared, a social kit and the full resolution files. Louisiana buyers read the sloughs off the top down and the drainage off the contour map.
Got a Louisiana parcel under contract?
Send the parish and the APN. If your invite is not open yet we will still look at the first one by hand.
