Presenting Aerial Surveys

Use case
U Illinois at Chicago has 28 aerial surveys over decades in the same area, with geographical coordinates. 2000-3000 large images. How do we get them laid out to mimic the survey?
The goal is to present them as a "survey" rather than individual images.
400-3000 images per survey. Possible "missing" tiles/sections.
Example data available.
Researchers are looking for a particular place/region of interest and then find their way through all of the images of that region over time. (Either laying or navigating with geo context?)
Similar to the Cambridge Ariel IIIF project:
https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PH-GEOGRAPHY-35KAB-00034
and manifest:
https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/iiif/PH-GEOGRAPHY-35KAB-00034
Here is further background information with some image samples from UIC: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iiHXaT8XYkGvByAM-sSfRrFKxE1OAKxrXr5tyyVzW-k/edit?usp=sharing
I need to take a closer look at the Cambridge manifest and site. At first glance, I don't see anything behaving like what I'm hoping for. The behavior I'd like to see is closer to IIIF examples of very large scrolls.
Also possibly related is work happening in the GeoBlacklight community around OpenIndexMaps.
Example here: https://earthworks.stanford.edu/catalog/stanford-ts545zc6250
We would be thinking about if this is suitable for navPlace and navDate. Maybe an issue if the image needs warping.
@thehabes to take this to the Maps group to see how people are looking at supporting ariel surveys in IIIF.
