Looks like it was taken with a Wild RC-10 (or perhaps later) aerial camera. They use these to create maps. Camera mounts in the underbelly of an aircraft. Film comes in rolls 9 1/2 inches wide by 250 ft long. Photos are used in stereo to create a 3-d image. The camera's focal length of about 6 inches coupled with a low flying height gives it this unique perspective. Neat photo!
