| NAIP Aerial Photography | The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) color aerial photography data on the GIS Hub is courtesy of the USDA-NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) located at the state office in Bismarck. The county mosaic data are in MrSID format with most files being very large. Please note the metadata file that is associated with each county for descriptive information. Pixel resolution: 2003: 1-meter; 2004: 2-meter; 2005: 1-meter; 2006: 2-meter. |
| USGS B&W DOQQs | The aerial image files listed here are copies of standard digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (DOQQs) obtained from the Natural Resource and Conservation Service. They were originally obtained from the USGS. The data is in its native format. Note that the file size is very large and is listed alongside each file. Please also note the metadata file at the top of the download directory. Please note that all files are not yet available. This is a work in progress. |

| North Dakota From Space | This view of North Dakota from space was acquired by the Landsat 7 satellite between July 1999 and September 2002. The addition of digital terrain information emphasizes the perception of depth by adding shadows in areas of rugged terrain such as the badlands of western North Dakota. This satellite image mosaic was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, Earth Resources Observations Systems (EROS) Data Center in Sioux Falls, SD. This image is brought to you courtesy of the Northern Great Plains Center for People and the Environment at the University of North Dakota and it is affiliated research and educational organizations, the Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium (UMAC) and the graduate program in Earth System Science and Policy. Please note that the file size is very large and is listed with the file. |
