Data Construction
Currently, the Montana Imagery Framework consists of data supplied by the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). The data is currently on a 2-year acquisition cycle (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015) and is scheduled to be flown July 2017. The major work from a stewardship perspective is to host the data at the State Library:
- Data is available in web services: http://gisservicemt.gov/arcgis/rest/services/MSDI_Framework
- The State Library also compresses and tiles the data and makes it available for download: http://geoinfo.msl.mt.gov/home/data/aerial_photos.aspx
- Users can request a copy of a statewide layer and must provide their own external hard drive.
