The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by NASS (USDA) for the source data set CDL_2012_CLIP_20131230093625_434373848.tif: "The USDA, NASS Cropland Data Layer (CDL) is a raster, geo-referenced, crop-specific land cover data layer. The 2012 CDL has a ground resolution of 30 meters. The CDL is produced using satellite imagery from the Landsat 5 TM sensor, Landsat 7 ETM+ sensor, and the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) DEIMOS-1 and UK2 sensors collected during the current growing season. "Some CDL states used additional satellite imagery and ancillary inputs to supplement and improve the classification. These additional sources can include the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Elevation Dataset (NED), the USGS National Land Cover Database 2006 (NLCD 2006), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250 meter 16 day Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) composites. "Agricultural training and validation data are derived from the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Common Land Unit (CLU) Program. The NLCD 2006 is used as non-agricultural training and validation data. Please refer to the 'Supplemental_Information' Section of this metadata file for a complete list of all imagery, ancillary data, and training/validation data used to generate this state's CDL. The strength and emphasis of the CDL is agricultural land cover. Please note that no farmer reported data are derivable from the Cropland Data Layer."

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. Sixty-seven map classes were developed to map the vegetation and general land cover of INDU and environs, with 56 of them representing vegetation types at various levels in the NVC (association, alliance, and formation). The other 11 map classes depict general land cover; 4 representing non-vegetated land cover and 7 representing developed areas. Features were interpreted using high-quality stereoscopes over light tables and 1:12,000-scale color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs dated October 2004 (fall leaf-change). Polygon units were mapped to 0.5 ha (1.25 acres) minimum mapping unit (MMU) and, for specific wetland map units within the West unit, to 0.1 ha (0.24 acres) MMU. Another set of 1:6,000-scale CIR aerial photographs dated October 2004 were used to aid interpretation mapping of the West unit’s MMU. An ancillary set of 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photos dated April 2005 (leaf-off) covering the entire Lakeshore lands were used for additional reference during mapping.

description: The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by NASS (USDA) for the source data set IN01NASS.TIF: "The USDA-NASS 2001 Indiana Cropland Data Layer is a raster, geo-referenced, categorized land cover data layer produced using satellite imagery from the Thematic Mapper (TM) instrument on Landsat 5 and the Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) on Landsat 7. The imagery was collected between the dates of April 29, 2001 and September 5, 2001. The approximate scale is 1:100,000 with a ground resolution of 30 meters by 30 meters.

State of Indiana Current Orthophotography includes imagery collected in the spring of 2023 for the eastern 1/3 of the state. The Indiana Orthoimagery Program collects and produces 4-band, 6-inch orthoimagery (with some areas at 3-inch resolution) on a 3-year cycle. Approximately one-third of the state is flown to develop streaming imagery services, 2,500' by 2,500' tiles. The dynamic imagery services contain color infrared and NDVI raster functions built into the services.

A point cloud data set (.las) of the Bluffton [Indiana] Native Habitat Waterway bottomland restoration site was generated from UAS imagery to complement field vegetation data collected in 2015 and 2016. Aerial images were collected on 07 September, 2016 using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS, or "drones"). Data were processed using photogrammetry to generate a three dimensional point cloud that identifies pixels from multiple images representing the same object and calculates the x, y, and z coordinates of that object/pixel. The point cloud was processed to create a digital surface model of the site (6 cm resolution). Finally, source images were stitched together based on shared pixels and orthoganally adjusted to the digital surface model to create a high resolution (approximately 3 cm) orthoimage for the study area.

A high resolution digital surface model (.tif) of the Bluffton [Indiana] Native Habitat Waterway bottomland restoration site was generated to complement field vegetation data collected in 2015 and 2016. Aerial images were collected on 07 September, 2016 using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS, or "drones"). Data were processed using photogrammetry to generate a three dimensional point cloud that identifies pixels from multiple images representing the same object and calculates the x, y, and z coordinates of that object/pixel. The point cloud was processed to create a digital surface model of the site (6 cm resolution), representing the continuous surface of the uppermost reflective surface (i.e., data have not been filtered for vegetation classes or height). Finally, source images were stitched together based on shared pixels and orthoganally adjusted to the digital surface model to create a high resolution (approximately 3 cm) orthoimage for the study area.

An investigation was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs that found 1,132 transportation and utility assets in Indiana are vulnerable to fluvial erosion hazards due to close proximity to actively migrating streams. Locations of transportation assets (bridges, roadways, and railroad lines) and selected utility assets (high-capacity overhead power-transmission lines, underground pipelines, water treatment facilities, and in-channel dams) were determined using aerial imagery hosted by the Google Earth platform. Identified assets were aggregated by stream reach, county, and class. The contents of this data release include (1) a comma-delimited text file summarizing the findings of that investigation, and (2) a polyline shapefile of the investigated stream reaches, which have been attributed with the channel migration rates documented in Robinson (2013a). Together, these products are intended to help stakeholders and others identify high-risk areas where transportation and utility assets may be threatened by fluvial erosion hazards.

This resource contains an aerial map of the Salamonie Reservoir, Indiana, printed in February 1981. This map is part of the Salamonie Reservoir Maps N.D collection that consists of oversized maps of the Salamonie Reservoir within the Huntington and Wabash Counties, Indiana. The collection was received without any association to a particular investigation. The date of this image was not recorded. This is likely due to the documents’ large size and cartographic contents.
