Massachusetts_Aerial_Imagery_2025

Spring 2025 "true color" aerial imagery for Massachusetts, published as a tile layer at ArcGIS Online by MassGIS. This layer is based on 8-bit, 15 cm resolution JPEG 2000 versions of GeoTiff imagery, using the Red-Green-Blue bands. This digital orthoimagery was created to provide easily accessible geospatial data which are readily available to enhance the capability of federal, state, and local emergency responders, as well as to plan for homeland security efforts. These data also support The National Map. These images can serve a variety of purposes, from general planning to field reference for spatial analysis, to a tool for data development and revision of vector maps. The imagery can also serve as a reference layer or basemap for myriad applications inside geographic information system (GIS) software and web-based maps.
