Spring Aerial Imagery of Central and Northwest Minnesota:  Spring 2013-14


Spring Imagery Home | Northeast | East-Central | South | Central and Northwest
 

High-resolution orthophotography has been flown for 34 counties in central and northwest Minnesota. A large portion of the area was flown Spring 2013, and the remaining project area was flown in Spring 2014. Both areas are now publicly available.

Legend for the map to the right:

AeroMetric (now Quantum Spatial) was selected as the project vendor from the responses to the RFP (State Register, 12/24/12 issue, p. 1006). The RFP specified all or part of 22 counties in central Minnesota; however, the bid was favorable enough that the Northwest counties were included in this phase. 2013 buy-up partnerships are shown in the map graphic; 2014 buy-up areas were Beltrami and Polk counties.

Partnerships

The following partners contributed funding to obtain aerial photography at a higher resolution than the 50-centimeter baseline resolution funded by the State of Minnesota. Depending on how the size and arrangement of the buy-up areas influenced flight logistics, some areas were flown at both resolutions. Click on the map to see a larger version.
