MacRumors:

Apple has confirmed it will begin surveying Alaska, South Carolina, and Tennessee between March and July, according to an update to its recently revamped Apple Maps image collection website. Data collection is also set to continue in seven other states over that time.

This is part of the Apple Maps rebuild effort.

Note that the Apple Maps image collection page is not a collection of images. Instead it’s a heads up on where the LIDAR vehicles and backpack-toting pedestrians will be in the coming months.
