Hi everyone, a few updates…
First, we are pleased to announce the
availability of the 2014 GeoLibrary orthoimagery. This covers
Hancock County and the southern 1/3 of Penobscot County. The
data are available as an OGC Web Mapping Service (WMS), or as
downloadable JPEG-2000 tiles from the MEGIS Orthoviewer. Like
previous years, there are different resolution products for
different areas of the collect, ranging from 3” (Bangor only)
to 24” pixel resolution. Also a color-infrared (CIR) version
is available via WMS.
Secondly we are pleased also to announce we
have received the November 2013 lidar data for the remaining
portions of York, Cumberland, and Kennebec Counties. The
lidar date index has been updated, and MEGIS is currently
processing these data to create hillshade, slope, and contour
models as well as the delivered DEMs. We hope to have the
updated DEM, hillshade, and slope available within two weeks
and the contours within 4 weeks.
MEGIS has completed a new data layer of
lighthouse locations, available to state employees via ArcSDE,
and to others at our data catalog.
The data catalog has also been updated with
new versions of the conservation lands layer and the DOT
public roads layer.
All of these available from our website
