DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Wisconsin, 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 Wisconsin. 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.

Driftless coulees and northwoods swamp.
Wisconsin sells two very different kinds of land. In the Driftless it is coulee farms with steep sidehills and bottom ground. Up north it is forties bought for deer, where the value is cover type and swamp and what public land abuts. Neither reads from a town road.
A forty in Iron County renders in the same ten minutes as a lot in Dane County, and swamp, popple cuts, coulees and bottom ground read clearly from above.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.

Rules for splitting a Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin ground.
Which Wisconsin counties can you do?
Any Wisconsin 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.
What do Wisconsin land sellers order packs for?
Northwoods timber and lakes, dairy and crop farms in the south and center, Driftless hills in the southwest, and hunting land. Typical uses there: hunting and recreation, cabin sites, farms, and timber.
Can you show cover type on a hunting forty?
Broadly, yes. Popple cuts, oak, cedar swamp, openings and old logging trails read differently from above, and the boundary shows which of it is inside your line. Buyers use it to find bedding and edges before walking it.
Will coulee sidehill and bottom ground separate on a Driftless farm?
Yes. The contour map shows the sidehill and the flat bottom, and the imagery shows what is worked, pastured or wooded. On a coulee farm the split between tillable bottom and steep sidehill is most of the price.
Which parcel number do I enter for a Wisconsin tract?
In Wisconsin, assessing is done locally, and the number to look for is the parcel number on the tax 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 a Wisconsin tract show from the air?
Cover type and openings, wetlands and lakeshore, and on the Driftless side the ridges, coulees and bottom ground that separate on the contour map. 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.
