Minnesota Geospatial Image Service
MnGeo’s Geospatial Image Service provides versatile access to Minnesota air photos, hillshades, and scanned topographic maps using a Web Map Service (WMS). Using this service means you don't need to download and store these very large files on your own computer. Many users report that this service provides faster display than using the same files on their own computer.
If you are having trouble connecting to the service, make sure you are using the current url: https://imageserver.gisdata.mn.gov/cgi-bin/wms?
Note: If you're looking for a single web map service that doesn’t make you choose layers, try the Composite Image Service instead.
