| Abstract | These data files are a collection of the USGS standard DOQs that have been resampled to a 3-meter cell resolution and mosaiced into quad format vs quarter quad format and then projected to a common coordinate system (UTM Zone 15, NAD83 Datum). These data were developed from the need for fast mosaiced quadrangle data and standardized coordinate schemes and file formats. |
| Use Tips | This data was deemed to be virtually indistinguisable from the 1-meter JPEG data down to a scale of about 1:6,000. At larger scales the image quality becomes noticably less. Click on this link to see a map showing the year each DOQ was taken: Map of DOQ Dates |

| Abstract | These data files are a collection of the USGS standard DOQs that have been resampled to a 3-meter cell resolution and mosaiced into quad format vs quarter quad format and then projected to a common coordinate system (UTM Zone 15, NAD83 Datum).

| Purpose | This data was developed to provide rapid access to DOQ imagery throughout the state in a quadrangle format in a common coordinate system. | |||
| Time Period of Content Date | 1991 | |||
| Currentness Reference | These DOQs were derived from Air Photos taken in the spring of 1991 and 1992. Click on this link to see an map showing what DOQs were taken when: Map of DOQ Dates | |||
