Some of the aerial photography and interactive maps on the blog won’t be working tonight. Here’s why:

Hello,

Maintenance is scheduled for the server used for GIS data downloads through the GIS Clearinghouse (gis.ny.gov) and the Discover GIS application (orthos.dhses.ny.gov).  Access via ftp is on ftp.gis.ny.gov while https download links from the same server use https://gisdata.ny.gov.  Datasets include orthoimagery, LIDAR, and DEMS, as well as raster maps on gis.ny.gov.

The work will be done Monday, December 27, 2021 after 5 PM EST and will finish later in the evening.

There will be an interruption in service, so we recommend users complete downloads before the maintenance period.  We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Thank you.

Tim
