Dear Geospatial User,

2019 Maine Orthoimagery Program

Good afternoon, I have news to share with you on the 2019 Maine Orthoimagery program! Please see the attached Google Earth screenshot for a status on the 2019 Program. Note that the color of the flight line indicates the following:

ORANGE = Not flown
GREEN = Passed Quality Control
RED = Re-flight needed

These communities were flown for 4-band orthoimagery this past May under ideal leaf-off, minimal snow conditions:

3” – Bangor, Camden, Rockport, Thomaston
6” – Biddeford, Brewer, Hampden, Freeport*
12” – Knox County
18” – Androscoggin, Kennebec, and Sagadahoc Counties**

*Due to weather and ground conditions, we were not able to capture suitable imagery for Bridgton, Naples, China, or Cushing, but they are all scheduled for next Spring 2020.

** A few areas for the 18” county acquisitions may need to be re-flown due to clouds, cloud shadow and other (even though the entire line is shown in red indicating a re-flight, it really is just specific areas). These are minimal issues and will be addressed during the Quality Control process. If needed, impacted tiles will be re-flown during the Spring 2020 acquisitions and updated tiles will be delivered.
