Montana NAIP 2019

This is an ArcGIS Server Image Service of the 4-band 2021 National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) orthorectified digital aerial photos of Montana. Imagery defaults to natural color. To view the imagery as false-color infrared (CIR), select band 4 as the red image, band 1 as the green, and band 2 as the blue. Or you can use the three processing templates: Natural Color, Color Infrared, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to symbolgize the service. This data set contains imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). These data are digital aerial photos, at 60 centimeter resolution, of most of the state of Montana, taken in 2019. Due to snow cover the imagery acquisition was not completed in 2019 and some areas were acquired in 2020. https://docs.msl.mt.gov/News/20191115_News_2019NAIPGaps.pdf The data are available from the State Library in two different formats. The most accessible format is a downloadable collection of compressed county mosaic (CCM) natural color MrSID images. These data are in UTM coordinates. The FTP folder containing these images is https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2019_NAIP/UTM_County_Mosaics The data are available from the State Library as a collection 11,775 4-band (near infrared, red, green and blue) TIF images in UTM coordinates. Each image is about 400 megabytes. The tiling format of the TIFF imagery is based on 3.75 x 3.75 minute quarter-quadrangles with a 300 pixel buffer on all four sides. An ESRI shapefile index showing the extent and acquisition dates of the TIF images is available at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2019_NAIP/ NAIP_2019_MT_tileindex_CurrentlyAvailable.zip To order TIFF images from the State Library, select the quadrangles you want from the tiff index shapefile and send them to the Library, along with a storage device of sufficient size to hold them and return postage for the device.
