To get aerial photos of land in Missouri, enter the county and the APN, or draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. DirtFlight renders the pack 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. No pilot drives out, so there is no travel charge, and it works anywhere in Missouri. 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 that separates ridge from hollow, 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.

Why Missouri is different

The value is under the canopy.

Ozark ground hides itself. Oak and hickory close over the whole tract by May, and the ridge top clearing that makes the property worth buying is invisible from the road and nearly invisible from straight above. Hollow, bench, glade and spring branch are the vocabulary buyers use, and photographs almost never show them.

The contour map earns its keep here: it separates the flat ridge from the hollow, which is the difference between a building site and a place to park a truck.

Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.

Missouri questions

Asked by people selling Missouri ground.

Which Missouri counties can you do?

Any Missouri 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 worth it for Missouri hunting and Ozark land?

Ozark timber and hunting land, rolling pasture, row crop on the northern prairie and in the southeast lowlands, and river bottom ground. Typical uses there: hunting and recreation, cattle, timber, farms, and rural homesites.

Does timber cover hide the tract?

Some of it, and that is why the pack is not only photographs. The contour map reads through the canopy and shows ridge, bench and hollow, so a buyer can find the flat ground even in full leaf. Field edges, clearings and pond sites show plainly in the imagery.

Can a buyer see where the building site is?

That is usually what the contour map settles. Ridge top and bench show as flat ground with the hollow falling away from it, alongside where the gravel road meets the line, which is the pair of facts most Missouri buyers are trying to establish.

Where do I find the parcel number for a Missouri tract?

In Missouri, the number to look for is the parcel number on the assessment record. Enter the county and the APN 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 Missouri ground look like from above?

Timber against open ground, creeks and hollows in the hills, pasture and field edges, and field patterns on the flatter ground. 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.
