1999 Aerial Photo Mosaic Mississippi River Pool 8 (High Water)

The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper MidwestEnvironmental Sciences Center (UMESC) collectsaerial photography of the Upper Mississippi RiverSystem (UMRS) floodplain on a regular basis. These data are used to support the Center'slong-term goals of understanding the UMRS anddeveloping useful products for the Long TermResource Monitoring Program (LTRMP). During May1999, 1:15,000-scale true color aerial photos werecollected within Pool 8 during high waterconditions for an LTRMP project. The photos werecollected using a 60% stereo overlap betweenphotos in the same flight line and a 30% overlapbetween flight lines. Approximately every otherphoto was scanned, georeferenced, and compiledinto the mosaic. The mosaic was then compressedinto a .sid [...]
