ARCHIVED: What are the 2005 Indiana Orthophotography datasets?

Overview of Dataset

Through the 2005 Statewide Digital Orthophotography Program, the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) has facilitated the acquisition of statewide, high-resolution orthophotography and digital elevation data for Indiana. IGIC is working in partnership with the state of Indiana to coordinate the Orthophotography Project with local government participation. For more information about the 2005 Orthophotography Project, see the IGIC web site at:

  http://www.in.gov/igic/projects/ortho/dist.html

Funding for this project came from a number of stakeholders, including the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the United States Geological Survey, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Major contributions came from the Indiana 2004 State and Local Homeland Security Grant administered through the Indiana Counter-Terrorism and Security Council (now the Indiana Department of Homeland Security).
