On April 29, 2001 Kodak Earth Imaging captured thousands of high-resolution (6-inch pixels) aerial photographs in the Greater Portland and Lewiston-Auburn areas. Under contract with the Greater Portland Council of Governments (GPCOG), Kodak supplied digital images along with the necessary aircraft positional data enabling precise maps to be compiled. Westbrook, along with Portland, Falmouth, Freeport and Brunswick have chosen Bradstreet Consultants, Inc., to maximize the aerial photographs potential to its fullest by compiling planimetric and topographic map data to be used with the digital orthophotos.

Roger Jackson, with over 20 years experience, and Mike Harmon of the City of Westbrook's Sewer Division partnered with GIS Mapping & Analysis to map the entire sewer system. With the use of GPS, all 1967 manholes were located. The Sewer Division team used precision digital orthophotos compiled by Bradstreet Consultants, Inc., to create the network connectivity between the manholes. Roger Jackson is thrilled to have the knowledge he has carried around in his head put into a computer for others to access. "When I look at the GPS manholes points on the full-color digital orthophotos, I know the accuracy is plus or minus six-to-eighteen inches.
