Digital Orthophotos

As of November 2000, digital orthophoto flights had been conducted most recently in 1995. The original data is in BIL format. This data is available in the Libraries on 13 CD-ROMs. The entire county was flown at '400 scale. Developed areas were flown at 200' or 100' foot scale, with some overlap. MrSID compressed versions (10:1) will be available as individual files and as mosaics in the near future. Data availability by image resolution is shown below:
