Description/use
This series of orthophotos provide excellent coverage
for the Golden Hourseshoe area and some points beyond - view
coverage index. The images have a 20 centimetre pixel resolution
and are based on colour images taken in the spring of 2002.
The images can be used with GIS software including ArcView and MapInfo. They are geo-referenced (UTM, NAD83) and can be used to reference vector layers if needed. Furthermore, the imagery can be used as a base on which vector data can be overlayed.
Images are organized by 1 km and some 2 km UTM grid square tiles.
