2000 Aerial Photo Mosaics - Upper Mississippi River System -- Pool 5a
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) collects aerial photography of the Upper
Mississippi River System (UMRS) floodplain on a regular basis. These data are used to support the Center's long-term goals
of understanding the UMRS and developing useful products for the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP). In 2000, 1:16,000-scale
true color aerial photos were collected on the Mississippi River from Cairo, IL to Minneapolis, MN and the on Illinois River
from its confluence with the Mississippi near Grafton, IL to Lake Michigan/Chicago, IL. The photos were collected using a
60% stereo overlap between photos in the same flight line and a 30% overlap between flight lines. At the time this document
was prepared, UMESC was in the process of scanning, georeferencing and compiled approximately every other photo into georeferenced
mosaics for the navigation pools. These mosaics are served as compressed .sid images, so they'll be easier to download vial
the Internet. Note: While the photos have been georeferenced, they have not been orthorectified.

Title 2000 Aerial Photo Mosaics - Upper Mississippi River System -- Pool 5a
The Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center administers the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP), authorized
under the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662). The mission of the LTRMP is to provide decision makers
with information to maintain the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) as a viable large river ecosystem given its multiple-use
character. The long-term goals of the Program are to understand the system, determine resource trends and impacts, develop
management alternatives, manage information, and develop useful products. The collection and distribution of high-resolution
aerial photography aids the Center in meeting these goals.

Additional information on resource:
In 1989, UMESC and the LTRMP began collecting aerial photos of the Upper Mississippi River System from Cairo, IL to Minneapolis,
MN and the Illinois River from its confluence with the Mississippi near Grafton, IL upstream to Joliet, IL. In years past
the extent was road/railroad to road/railroad. In 2000, the area photographed was expanded to bottom of the bluff to the bottom
of the bluff.
