Why Historical Satellite Maps Are Valuable Satellite images captured years or even over a decade ago provide an objective, timestamped record of the Earth’s surface. Discover how to get a historical satellite map of your property, compare past and present imagery, and track changes to land, buildings, vegetation, and surrounding areas with OnGeo Intelligence.

Compare OnGeo Intelligence and Google Earth to discover how they differ in satellite imagery access, data analysis, reporting, and professional geospatial applications.

Destructive wildfires in Spain and France in July 2026 rank among Europe’s worst in decades. Satellite imagery, including Landsat 9 data and the OnGeo Intelligence platform, reveals the full scale of the damage and proves essential for tracking, assessing, and responding to such disasters.

The two reservoirs are among the most important pieces of water infrastructure in Hengzhou, a county-level city administered by Nanning in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Built during China's large-scale water conservancy campaign of the late 1950s, both projects have supported agriculture, flood control and local economic development for decades.

Fresh satellite imagery has revealed a massive suspected oil spill near Iran's Kharg Island, the country's primary crude oil export terminal. As analysts investigate the source, the growing slick is raising concerns over environmental damage, regional energy security, and potential impacts on global oil markets in the strategically vital Persian Gulf.

Finding recent satellite images doesn't have to be complicated. This guide shows how to quickly search for the latest satellite imagery using OnGeo Intelligence, compare acquisition dates, check available resolutions, and filter results by time period. Learn how to identify the newest cloud-free images for any location before ordering, making it easier to choose the right data for mapping, monitoring, or property analysis.

Devastating before-and-after satellite images reveal the full scale of destruction in Venezuela after two powerful earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5 magnitude) struck just 39 seconds apart on June 24, 2026. La Guaira was hit hardest, with entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. OnGeo Intelligence analyzes the latest satellite imagery showing collapsed buildings, humanitarian crisis, and the road to recovery
