Summary
The USGS NAIP Imagery service from The National Map (TNM) consists of high resolution images that combine the visual attributes of an aerial photograph with the spatial accuracy and reliability of a map. Resolution of National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) data is 1 meter, which means that every pixel in the digital orthoimage covers a one meter square of the earth’s surface. Many states contribute orthoimagery to The National Map, and USGS relies on a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency for NAIP data. The USGS NAIP Imagery service is a mosaic of 1 meter resolution natural color and color infrared aerial imagery, containing NAIP and other imagery sources to complete the mosaic. The National [...]
Summary
The USGS NAIP Imagery service from The National Map (TNM) consists of high resolution images that combine the visual attributes of an aerial photograph with the spatial accuracy and reliability of a map. Resolution of National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) data is 1 meter, which means that every pixel in the digital orthoimage covers a one meter square of the earth’s surface. Many states contribute orthoimagery to The National Map, and USGS relies on a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency for NAIP data. The USGS NAIP Imagery service is a mosaic of 1 meter resolution natural color and color infrared aerial imagery, containing NAIP and other imagery sources to complete the mosaic. The National Map viewer allows free downloads of public domain, 1-meter resolution compressed orthoimagery in JPEG 2000 (.jp2) format for the conterminous United States, with many urban areas and other locations at 1-foot (or better) resolution, also in JPEG 2000 (.jp2) format. For additional information on orthoimagery, go to http://nationalmap.gov/ortho.html
This dynamic overlay map service provides visualization of the free data that is available for download from The National Map at http://viewer.nationalmap.gov.
