2004 NAIP georectified photos

Most of Minnesota was flown in Summer 2004. Only the areas that were missed in 2003 were processed to 1-meter orthorectified photos; the remaining areas were processed to 2-meter georectified specifications. The 2004 1-meter orthos have been combined with the 2003 orthophotos to create single county MrSID mosaics with complete coverage over each county.

MrSID format photos are available for all Minnesota counties; all areas are 2-meter georectified.

• Download selected county files in MrSID format. FSA has provided the following county mosaics to the Land Management Information Center for free online distribution since these counties contain areas that were not flown in 2003:  Aitkin, Brown, Carlton, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Itasca, Jackson, Kanabec, Lake, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Redwood, Renville, St. Louis and Watonwan. These may be partial county files and may not completely fill the gaps in the 2003 data.
