Massachusetts (1:5,000 Color Ortho 1/2-Meter MrSID Mosaic Index, 2002)

This data layer is used to index the half-meter MrSID mosaics for the 1:5,000 Color Ortho Imagery.

This layer is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. This layer will provide a basemap for layers related to environmental management and urban planning or to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. More advanced user applications may focus on hydrology, urban planning, public works, or utilities purposes, including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output.
