Aerial Photography of Southern California

Orange County Region

Return to Southern California Index Map

 

Orange County has a growing, diverse population, a beautiful and popular coastline that stretches from Seal Beach to San Onofre, and some very rugged inland terrain that includes the San Joaquin Hills and Santa Ana Mountains.   Hiking and biking trails abound, and one of the premier bird-watching locations in North America is at Upper Newport Bay.   In general, western Orange County is flat because it is a floodplain of the San Gabriel and Santa Ana rivers.   Eastern Orange County is less populous and has more varied topography.   The aerial photographs below include excellent coverage of the coast and some inland areas, but do not show all of the features of this portion of southern California.   Future flights and photography will eventually fill in the gaps.

Note that these 285 photographs of Orange County were taken during three different flights, with different lighting and atmospheric conditions.   To see the date for a particular photograph, rest your cursor on its thumbnail image.
