DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Maine, enter the county and the APN, or draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. The pack renders in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video, a hosted listing page and a parcel info sheet, with full resolution files of every view. Nobody flies out, so there is no travel charge, and it works anywhere in Maine. Dirt is $29 a parcel and Paydirt $79, or $199 a month for PayDirt Pro (20 Paydirt packs a month). Paydirt adds a contour map, the road frontage hero, the infrared land health view, the full social kit with platform captions, a posting plan and silent reels, pop-out photos from nine directions, the interactive 3D explorer and the measured diligence layers.

Most of it is trees, so the edges are the value.
Maine land sells on what borders it. Frontage on a pond, a deeded right of way off the town road, an abutting stretch of public land, a stream through the back corner. Under canopy none of that is visible from the ground, and half of these lots have no cleared spot to stand in.
A woodlot in Franklin County renders in the same ten minutes as a lot in Cumberland County, and shore, stream and cut lines read clearly from above.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.
One parcel. Mixed growth throughout, a brook along the west line, and an old skid road in from the town road.

This is the whole Maine delivery.

Where Maine land actually trades.
These are the counties land buyers ask about most.
Any Maine county works: type the parcel number, draw the boundary on the map, or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile. Try your APN free, and if a parcel will not come up from its number you hear that before anything is charged.

- Water frontage, the logging road or private way in, forest type and recent cuts, and lowland and bog against the dry ground a camp or house would use.

Rules for splitting a Maine tract differ by county, so start with the county planning office. How to subdivide land walks through the steps, subdivide land photos renders a pack for every lot from a plat or a drawn split, and land home packages screens where a home can go on a lot.

Asked by people selling Maine ground.
Which Maine counties can you do?
Any Maine county works. Send the county and the APN and DirtFlight renders the pack. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you hear that before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile instead. The pack comes back the same.
Is DirtFlight useful for Maine woodlots, camps and waterfront?
Spruce, fir and mixed woodland, lake, pond and stream frontage, blueberry barrens and old fields, and lots in the unorganized territories. Typical uses there: camp and cabin sites, woodlots and timber, waterfront and recreation, and homesites.
Can you show pond, lake or stream frontage?
Yes. The boundary is drawn onto the imagery, so where your line meets the water is visible rather than described. On Maine lots that single view often answers the buyer's only real question.
Does this work for lots in the unorganized territories?
Yes. Send the APN, and if a parcel will not come up from its number you hear that before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a file instead. Boundaries are approximate and not a survey, which matters more on old woodlot descriptions than anywhere else.
What do I enter for a Maine lot, including one in the unorganized territories?
In Maine, the number to look for is the map and lot on the tax record. Land in the unorganized territories is recorded by the state. Enter the town and the map and lot as it appears on the tax record, or a street address, and DirtFlight draws the boundary. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you are told before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a boundary file instead.
What does Maine land show from above?
Water frontage, the logging road or private way in, forest type and recent cuts, and lowland and bog against the dry ground a camp or house would use. The boundary is drawn on every view, and the imagery is the most recent aerial available for that county, usually one to three years old, with the date on the pack.
