2006 – Two Foot Compressed County Mosaics

The MS Coordinating Council for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (MCCRSGIS) has developed statewide coverage of natural color digital ortho-imagery. This ortho-imagery is composed of 24 bit natural color digital orthos at a scale of 1 to 400 with a 2 foot ground sample distance (GSD) for the project area. The SID images were created using a 20:1 compression ratio.

The acquisition and production of natural color digital orthoimagery is delivered by county. The imagery may be used for cadastral or infrastructure mapping purposes.

Please see the detailed metadata.
