Sample NAIP

National Agriculture Imagery Project (NAIP)

The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of digital orthophotography within a year of acquisition. Metadata record (having the extension .met) are included with each SID image.  All Geotiff and SID images are NAD83 UTM Zone 11.

Sample DOQ

Digital Orthophoto Quads

Digital orthophotos are photographic images that combine the image characteristics of an aerial photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. Orthophotos may serve as base maps onto which other map information can be overlaid.
