"The digital topographic map is a United States Geological Survey (USGS) product. The original topographic maps for each county have been scanned and rectified (assigned coordinate information). The collars (the white margins along the sides of the map) have been removed. In addition, all topographic maps for a given county have been tiled together to provide seamless topographic coverage for each locality. The source scale of this product is 1: 4,000. It is available as a Mr. Sid (proprietary format that is “readable” by ArcGIS).For more information on this data refer to the supplemental metadata pdf found at: https://secure-archive.gis.vt.edu/gisdata/public/UnitedStates/Virginia/VCE_2002_metadata/METADATA.pdfThis data has been curated by the Virginia Cooperative Extension at Virginia Tech and Virginia Tech University Libraries. This data is meant for general use only. Virginia Tech’s University Library is acting as a steward for this data and any questions about its use should refer to our Terms of Use Page."

"The National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) captured these photographs through the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). Dates differ by county, but may be as recent as 2005. All the photographs are tiled together by county to produce this seamless 2-meter resolution product. The imagery was captured during the late spring/early summer (during the leaf-on seasons). The purpose of the NAIP is to provide imagery during the agricultural growing season so that the Farm Service Agency (FSA) can provide estimates of crops and acres under cultivation. Certainly, this product can be used for other applications as well.This product is available in a universal transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The NAIP imagery provided by the Geospatial Extension Program is either a near infrared (NIR) false-color composite or true color product. NIR imagery depicts healthy vegetation (high amounts of chlorophyll activity) in bright shades of red (note the fertilized lawns in the image below). This image is available as a Mr. Sid (proprietary format that is “readable” by ArcGIS or web browser plug-in). While a majority of Virginia localities have data, the imagery may not cover all portions of every county.
