Description:This data set contains digital ortho-imagery developed to support planning and delivery of USDA programs. The USDA field service centers use digital ortho imagery as a basic reference for conservation plans and soil survey. The imagery has a 1 meter ground sample distance (GSD) ortho imagery rectified to National Mapping Standards at the 1:24,000 scale. Imagery is based on a (7.5 x 15) or (7.5 x11.25) minute quarter quadrangle with a 300 meter buffer on all four sides. Quarter quads imagery is formatted to the UTM coordinate system using NAD83. Each quad may contain as much as 10% cloud cover per tile. This file was generated by compressing quarter quadrangle tiles that cover a project area. MrSID compression, with mosaic option, was used. Target values for the compression ratio are (15:1) and compression levels (9) are used.
