The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper MidwestEnvironmental Sciences Center (UMESC) has obtainedhistorical photography of the Upper MississippiRiver, collected by the Corps of Engineers. TheU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) UpperMississippi National Wildlife and Fish Refugecontracted the Upper Midwest EnvironmentalSciences Center (UMESC) to scan and georeferencethe 1961 images for lower Pool 8, to createreference images for use in geographic informationsystem (GIS). These data are also distributedthrough the UMESC Web site so others can alsoaccess the data.

This dataset contains the data described in Looney and Eigenbrode's 2012 Natural Areas journal article (Characteristics and Distribution of Palouse Prairie Remnants: Implications for Conservation Planning), including potential Palouse remnants, a boundary for the study area, and a set of potential remnants that lay outside of the study area. While the potential remnants inside the area were reviewed based on limited ground-truthing described in the article, those outside the area were not. As such, there are likely potential remnants that are in fact re-colonized field margins or drainage ditches, or CRP-like plantings. Since the focus was primarily on eyebrows located in agricultural contexts, many of the river...

The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) collects aerial photography of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) floodplain on a regular basis. These data are used to support the Center's long-term goals of understanding the UMRS and developing useful products for the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP). In 2000, 1:16,000-scale true color aerial photos were collected on the Mississippi River from Cairo, IL to Minneapolis, MN and the on Illinois River from its confluence with the Mississippi near Grafton, IL to Lake Michigan/Chicago, IL. The photos were collected using a 60% stereo overlap between photos in the same flight line and a 30% overlap between flight lines....

The 25-mile stretch of the Yellow River adjacent to the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Central Wisconsin provides valuable habitat to numerous species of concern including the Red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus), the Cerulean warbler (Dendroica cerulea), the Eastern massasaugua rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus), and the Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis). Since very little data exist regarding the location and composition of these habitats, a detailed land cover/land use (LCU) map is needed to better define and more effectively manage these areas of concern.

In 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)collected 1:15,000-scale true color aerialphotographs in Mississippi River Navigation Pools7 and 8. The FWS contracted the Upper MidwestEnvironmental Sciences Center (UMESC) to scan andgeoreference these images, to create referenceimages for use in geographic information system(GIS) software programs. These data are alsodistributed through the UMESC Web site so otherscan have access to the data as well.

The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) has obtained historical photography of the Upper Mississippi River, collected by the Corps of Engineers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Upper Mississippi National Wildlife and Fish Refuge contracted the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) to scan and georeference the 1947 images for lower Pool 8, to create reference images for use in geographic information system (GIS). These data are also distributed through the UMESC Web site, so others can also access the data.

The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) has obtained historical photography of the Upper Mississippi River, collected by the Corps of Engineers in the 1930s. The Center uses these photos in their training program for GIS interns, to provide them with experience in georeferencing photos. Whenever enough photos are georeferenced that a mosaic can be created, the data are made available through the center's Internet site. The 1930 photo mosaic for Mississippi River Navigation Pool 21 was created using 1:12,000-scale black-and-white photos collected during 1929-1930 probably late summer). The photography was originally collected for the Brown Survey. Individual prints were trimmed...
