Northwest border – Summer – 2009

This data layer is the 2009 Northwest Border Summer Orthophotography. It originated from the US Geological Survey and includes the northwest section (most of Kittson and western Roseau counties [MN], Pembina County [ND], and parts of southern Manitoba, Canada) of the northern border at a 0.3 meter resolution. Orthophotography is extremely useful for determining land use and land cover. As a result, it can provide important context for specific locations and other spatial data. If multiple years are available, it can also be used to identify changes that take place on the landscape.
