The
Maine Office of GIS and the Maine GeoLibrary announce the availability of 3
new web mapping services for aerial orthophotos. These and other web
mapping services are available at:
The
three new services include:
Baxter 2004 - QuickBird satellite imagery of Baxter
State Park dated October 3, 2004 (3:28PM local time - how's that for
precise?). As these data are licensed, we cannot release the original data
to unlicensed individuals. These are color data with a 60cm pixel
resolution and horizontal accuracy of 2.3m.
Debsconeags 2005 - QuickBird satellite imagery of the
Debsconeags region which abuts the southwest portion of Baxter State Park.
As these data are licensed, we cannot release the original data to unlicensed
individuals. The data were collected between July 13 and October 29,
2005. These are color data with a 60cm pixel resolution and horizontal
accuracy of 2.3m.
DeLorme 2003 - These are 1-foot color orthophotos taken
June 6, 2003 by DeLorme using their Leica ADS40 digital camera, with horizontal
accuracy of .6m. These data are also licensed, and we cannot release the
original data to unlicensed individuals.
Also
we have made changes to the services for the 1:24,000 topo maps and the
black-and-white version of the same service. In those cases we were
notified of 4 mis-registered quads way down east (Machias Bay, Cutler,
Moose River, and Cross Island) in the service. We received corrected quads
and loaded them into the service. You will not have to do anything to take
advantage of this.
Coming up next: More low tide imagery and US
border imagery (30-mile buffer)
Happy
mapping!
