2022 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) natural color .6-meter pixel resolution. The imagery was collected statewide from July 22, 2022, through September 10, 2022. This data set contains polygons delineating the seamline boundaries of imagery acquired as part of the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and used in the creation of DOQQs hosted in FSA image services. These seam polygons can be used as a tool in determining the image source and date of each portion of the imagery. The NAIP acquires 4 band digital ortho imagery from airborne and/or space-based platforms during the agricultural growing seasons in the U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of ortho imagery within sixty days of acquisition. The NAIP provides 60-centimeter ground sample distance ortho imagery rectified within +/- 4 meters to true ground at a 95% confidence level. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 300 (plus or minus 30) pixel buffer on all four sides. The NAIP quarter quads are formatted to the UTM coordinate system using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
This tile layer features recent high-resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery from the USDA Farm Services Agency. The NAIP imagery in this layer has been visually enhanced and published as a tile layer for optimal display performance.NAIP imagery collection occurs on an annual basis during the agricultural growing season in the continental United States. Approximately half of the US is collected each year and each state is typically collected every other year. The NAIP program aims to make the imagery available to governmental agencies and to the public within a year of collection.This layer will be updated each year, as the latest imagery is received and processed. Currently, the map is primarily composed of NAIP imagery from 2021 and 2022.Use the NAIP Imagery Metadata layer as an overlay to access detailed information about each image in this tile layer.

This map is designated as Final.
Land-Use Data Quality Control
Every published digital survey is designated as either ‘Final’, or ‘Provisional’, depending upon its status in a peer review process.
Final surveys are peer reviewed with extensive quality control methods to confirm that field attributes reflect the most detailed and specific land-use classification available, following the standard DWR Land Use Legendspecific to the survey year. Data sets are considered ‘final’ following the reconciliation of peer review comments and confirmation by the originating Regional Office. During final review, individual polygons are evaluated using a combination of aerial photointerpretation, satellite image multi-spectral data and time series analysis, comparison with other sources of land use data, and general knowledge of land use patterns at the local level.
Provisional data sets have been reviewed for conformance with DWR’s published data record format, and for general agreement with other sources of land use trends. Comments based on peer review findings may not be reconciled, and no significant edits or changes are made to the original survey data.
The 2014 San Francisco County land use survey data was developed by the State of California, Department of Water Resources (DWR) through its Division of Integrated Regional Water Management (DIRWM) and Division of Statewide Integrated Water Management (DSIWM). Land use boundaries were digitized and land use was mapped by staff of DWR’s North Central Region using 2014 U.S.D.A National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) one-meter resolution digital imagery, and the Google Earth website. Land use polygons in agricultural areas were mapped in greater detail than areas of urban or native vegetation. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s DSIWM headquarters, under the leadership of Jean Woods, and North Central Region, under the supervision of Kim Rosmaier. This data was developed to aid DWR’s ongoing efforts to monitor land use for the main purpose of determining current and projected water uses. The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standards version 2.1, dated March 9, 2016. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees - either expressed or implied - as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to gis@water.ca.gov. This data represents a land use survey of San Francisco County conducted by the California Department of Water Resources, North Central Region Office staff. Land use field boundaries were digitized with ArcGIS10.2 using 2012 and 2014 NAIP imagery as the base. Agricultural fields were delineated by following actual field boundaries instead of using the centerlines of roads to represent the field borders. Field boundaries were not drawn to represent legal parcel (ownership) boundaries, and are not meant to be used as parcel boundaries. San Francisco County contains only a few, small agricultural areas, one bison pasture in Golden Gate Park, and some community gardens. The land use was entirely photo interpreted using NAIP imagery and Google Earth. Sources of irrigation water were not identified. Before final processing, standard quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s North Central Region, and at DSIWM headquarters under the leadership of Jean Woods. Senior Land and Water Use Supervisor. After quality control procedures were completed, the data was finalized. The positional accuracy of the digital line work, which is based upon the orthorectified NAIP imagery, is approximately 6 meters. The land use attribute accuracy for agricultural fields is high, because almost every delineated field was visited by a surveyor. The accuracy is 95 percent because some errors may have occurred. Possible sources of attribute errors are: a) Human error in the identification of crop types, b) Data entry errors.

The 2006 Del Norte County land use survey data set was developed by DWR through its Division of Planning and Local Assistance which, following reorganization in 2009 has been subdivided into the Division of Statewide Integrated Water Management (DSIWM) and the Division of Integrated Regional Water Management (DIRWM). The data was gathered using aerial photography and extensive field visits. The land use boundaries and attributes were digitized and the resultant data went through standard quality control procedures before finalizing. The land uses that were gathered were detailed agricultural land uses, and lesser detailed urban and native vegetation land uses. The data was gathered and digitized by staff of DWR’s Northern Regional Office. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s Statewide Integrated Water Management headquarters and Northern Regional Office, under the supervision of Tito Cervantes, Senior Land and Water Use Scientist. This data was developed to aid DWR’s ongoing efforts to monitor land use for the main purpose of determining current and projected water uses. The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standards version 2.1, dated March 9, 2016. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees - either expressed or implied - as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to gis@water.ca.gov. This data represents a land use survey of Butte County conducted by DWR, Northern District Office staff, under the leadership of Tito Cervantes, Senior Land and Water Use Supervisor. The field work for this survey was conducted during the summer of 2004. ND staff physically visited each delineated field, noting the crops grown at each location. Field survey boundary data was developed using: 1. The county was surveyed using the 2005 one-meter resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) digital aerial photos as a digital reference for line work and field work. 2. From the 2005 NAIP imagery, digital 7.5’quadrangle sized images were created, with one-meter resolution. These were used in the spring of 2006 to develop the digital land use boundaries that would be used in the survey. The digitizing of these boundaries was done using AutoCAD Map software. 3. The digital images and land use boundaries were copied onto laptop computers that, in most cases, were used as the field data collection tools. The staff took these laptops into the field and virtually all the areas were visited to positively identify the agricultural land use. The site visits occurred between June and August 2006. Land use codes were digitized directly into the laptop computers using AUTOCAD (using a standardized digitizing process). Some staff took the printed aerial photos into the field and wrote land use codes directly onto these photo field sheets. The data from the photo field sheets were digitized back in the office. For both data gathering techniques any land use boundary changes were noted and corrected in the office. Urban and native classes of land use were mapped by both field observation and photo interpretation. 4. The linework and attributes from each quadrangle drawing file were brought into ARCINFO and both quadrangle and survey-wide coverages were created, and underwent quality checks. These coverages were converted to shapefiles using ArcMAP. 5. After quality control/assurance procedures were completed on each file, the data was finalized. The primary focus of this land use survey is mapping agricultural fields. Urban residences and other urban areas were delineated using aerial photo interpretation. Some urban areas may have been missed, especially in forested areas. Before final processing, standard quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR's Northern District, and at DPLA headquarters under the leadership of Jean Woods, Senior Land and Water Use Supervisor. After quality control procedures were completed, the data was finalized. The positional accuracy of the digital line work, which is based upon the 2005 one-meter resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), is approximately 12.1 meters. The land use attribute accuracy for agricultural fields is high, because almost every delineated field was visited by a surveyor. The accuracy is 95 percent because some errors may have occurred. Possible sources of attribute errors are: a) Human error in the identification of crop types, b) Data entry errors.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) created a fine-scale vegetation classification and map of the southern addition to the Departments Knoxville Wildlife Area (WA), Napa County, California following State Vegetation Survey, Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Standards (Grossman et al 1998). The vegetation classification was derived from data collected in the field following the Combined Rapid Assessment and Relevé Protocol during the periods November 18''20, 2013 and April 28''May 1, 2014. Vegetation polygons were drawn using heads-up manual digitizing using the 2011 Napa County 30-cm resolution color infrared (CIR) imagery as the base imagery. Supplemental imagery included National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) true color and CIR 1-meter resolution data from 2009''2012, BING imagery, and current and historical imagery from Google Earth. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre, with the exception of wetland types, which have an MMU of 1/2 acre. Ponds, riparian types, and the one vernal pool on the WA that were visible on the imagery were mapped regardless of size, and streams were generally mapped if greater than 10 m wide (narrower portions may have been mapped to maintain the continuity of the streams). Mapping is to the NVC hierarchy association, alliance, or group level based on the ability of the photointerpreters to distinguish types based on all imagery available and on the field data. Both the existing (northern) and new addition (southern) portions of the Knoxville WA were mapped in 2002 as part of the Napa County vegetation map (https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=14660). The 2002 map is at a coarse thematic resolution (alliance through macrogroup level) and vegetation in portions of the WA has changed since the 2004 Rumsey Fire, necessitating this map update. We have produced an updated version of the KWA portion of the 2002 map layer that uses the same spatial data, but added a crosswalk to the current classification and the upper levels of the current hierarchy. This map layer is included in the downloaded dataset for this map and an expanded metadata report for that crosswalk can be found at https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=164825.

Analysis of ‘San Joaquin County Land Use Survey 2017’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/34320867-1a92-4422-98e2-4f68d26cff40 on 28 January 2022.
--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
This data represents a land use survey of San Joaquin County conducted by the California Department of Water Resources, North Central Region Office staff. Land use field boundaries were digitized with ArcGIS 10.5.1 using 2016 NAIP as the base, and Google Earth and Sentinel-2 imagery website were used as reference as well. Agricultural fields were delineated by following actual field boundaries instead of using the centerlines of roads to represent the field borders. Field boundaries were not drawn to represent legal parcel (ownership) boundaries and are not meant to be used as parcel boundaries. The field work for this survey was conducted from July 2017 through August 2017. Images, land use boundaries and ESRI ArcMap software were loaded onto Surface Pro tablet PCs that were used as the field data collection tools. Staff took these Surface Pro tablet into the field and virtually all agricultural fields were visited to identify the land use. Global positioning System (GPS) units connected to the laptops were used to confirm the surveyor's location with respect to the fields. Land use codes were digitized in the field using dropdown selections from defined domains. Agricultural fields the staff were unable to access were designated 'E' in the Class field for Entry Denied in accordance with the 2016 Land Use Legend. The areas designated with 'E' were also interpreted using a combination of Google Earth, Sentinel-2 Imagery website, Land IQ (LIQ) 2017 Delta Survey, and the county of San Joaquin 2017 Agriculture GIS feature class. Upon completion of the survey, a Python script was used to convert the data table into the standard land use format. ArcGIS geoprocessing tools and topology rules were used to locate errors for quality control. The primary focus of this land use survey is mapping agricultural fields. Urban residences and other urban areas were delineated using aerial photo interpretation. Some urban areas may have been missed. Rural residential land use was delineated by drawing polygons to surround houses and other buildings along with some of the surrounding land. These footprint areas do not represent the entire footprint of urban land. Water source information was not collected for this land use survey. Therefore, the water source has been designated as Unknown. Before final processing, standard quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s North Central Region, and at DRA's headquarters office under the leadership of Muffet Wilkerson, Senior Land and Water Use Supervisor. After quality control procedures were completed, the data was finalized. The positional accuracy of the digital line work, which is based upon the orthorectified NAIP imagery, is approximately 6 meters. The land use attribute accuracy for agricultural fields is high, because almost every delineated field was visited by a surveyor. The accuracy is 95 percent because some errors may have occurred. Possible sources of attribute errors are: a) Human error in the identification of crop types, b) Data entry errors. The 2017 San Joaquin County land use survey data was developed by the State of California, Department of Water Resources (DWR) through its Division of Regional Assistance (DRA). Land use boundaries were digitized, and land use was mapped by staff of DWR’s North Central Region using 2016 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) one-meter resolution digital imagery, Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, and the Google Earth website. Land use polygons in agricultural areas were mapped in greater detail than areas of urban or native vegetation. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s DRA headquarters, and North Central Region. This data was developed to aid DWR’s ongoing efforts to monitor land use for the main purpose of determining current and projected water uses.

Analysis of ‘Vegetation - Napa County Update 2016 [ds2899]’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/097f8cf3-c14b-4608-a537-d1405389075d on 28 January 2022.
--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
The earlier map used black and white digital orthophoto quadrangles from 1993, with a pixel resolution of 3 meters. This image was delineated using a heads up digitization technique produced by ASI (Aerial Services Incorporated). The resulting polygons provided vegetation and landcover attributes following the classification system used by California State Department of Fish and Wildlife mappers in the Manual of California Vegetation. The 2004 effort included a brief field campaign in which surveyors drove accessible roads and verified or corrected the dominant vegetation of polygons adjacent to roadways or visible using binoculars. There were no field relevé or rapid assessment plots conducted. This updated version uses a 2016 edition of 1 meter color aerial imagery taken by the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP; https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/aerial-photography/imagery-programs/naip-imagery/index) as the base imagery. It therefore permits an assessment of the change in the patterns of vegetation over 23 years in the county.In consultation with the county we decided to use similar methods to the previous mapping effort, in order to preserve the capacity to assess change in the county over time. This meant forgoing recent data and innovations in remote sensing such as were used in a concurrent project that mapped Sonoma County including the use of LiDAR and Ecognition''s segmentation of imagery to delineate stands. However, the use of such technologies would have made it more difficult to track land cover change in Napa county, because differences in publication dates would not be definitively attributable to actual land cover change or changes in methodology. The overall cost of updating the map in the way was approximately 20% of the cost of the Sonoma vegetation mapping program.Therefore, we started with the original map, and on-screen inspections of the polygons to determine if change had occurred. If so, the boundaries and attributes were modified in the new edition of the map. We also used the time series of imagery available on Google Earth, and the high resolution imagery available through ArcMap to further inspect many edited polygons. We conducted 3 rounds of quality assessment/quality control exercises. Funding was not available to do field assessments, but we incorporated field expertise for the Angwin Experimental Forest, reviewed vegetation types identified in the Knoxville Wildlife Area from a 2014 map incorporating 29 of them, and used overlap with the Sonoma Vegetation Map to assess some polygons thought to contain redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) along the western side of Napa County.The Angwin Experimental Forest was mapped by Peter Lecourt from Pacific Union College. He identified several polygons of redwoods in what are potentially the eastern-most extent of that species. We reviewed those polygons with him and incorporated some of the data from his area into this map.The 2014 Knoxville Vegetation map was developed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife. It was made public in February of 2019, close to the end of this project. We reviewed the map, which covers part of the northeast portion of Napa County. We incorporated polygons and vegetation types for 18 vegetation types including the rare ones, we reviewed and incorporated some data for another 6 types, and we noted in comments the presence of another 5 types. There is a separate report specifically addressing the incorporation of this map to our map.Dr Amber Manfree has been conducting research on fire return intervals for parts of Napa County. In her research she identified that large piles of rocks are created when vineyards are put in. These are mapable features. She shared the locations of rock piles she identified, which we incorporated into the map.The Sonoma Vegetation Map mapped some distance into the western side of Napa County. We reviewed that map''s polygons for coast redwood. We then examined our imagery and the Google imagery to see if we could discern the whorled pattern of tree branches. Where we could, we amended or expanded redwood polygons in our map.The Vegetation classification systems used here follows California''s Manual of California Vegetation and the National Vegetation Classification System (MCV and NVCS). We started with the vegetation types listed in the 2004 map. We predominantly use the same set of species names, with modifications/additions particularly from the Knoxville map. The NVCS uses Alliance and Association as the two most taxonomically detailed levels. This map uses those levels. It also refers to vegetation types that have not been sampled in the field and that has 3-6 species and a site descriptor as Groups, which is the next more general level in the NVCS classification.We conducted 3 rounds of quality assessment/quality control exercises.

Analysis of ‘Merced County Land Use Survey 2012’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/44e96aec-846d-4f8e-a19d-c50dbb047c03 on 28 January 2022.
--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
The 2012 Merced County land use survey data was developed by the State of California, Department of Water Resources (DWR) through its Division of Regional Assistance (DRA). Land use boundaries were digitized, and land use was mapped by staff of DWR’s South Central Region Office using 2010 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) one-meter resolution digital imagery, Roads and waterways were delineated as a countywide shapefile using the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER® (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) database and then clipped to match the USGS quadrangle boundaries. Field boundaries were digitized after roads and waterways on a quadrangle by quadrangle basis. Digitizing was completed at 1:4000 scale for the entire survey area. They were drawn to depict observable areas of the same land use. They were not drawn to represent legal parcel (ownership) boundaries, or meant to be used as parcel boundaries. Land use polygons in agricultural areas were mapped in greater detail than areas of urban or native vegetation. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s DRA headquarters, and South Central Region Office. This data was developed to aid DWR’s ongoing efforts to monitor land use for the main purpose of determining current and projected water uses.

This is an ArcGIS Server Image Service of the 4-band 2021 National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) orthorectified digital aerial photos of Montana. Imagery defaults to natural color. To view the imagery as false-color infrared (CIR), select band 4 as the red image, band 1 as the green, and band 2 as the blue. This data set contains imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). These data are digital aerial photos, at 60 centimeter resolution, of most of the state of Montana, taken in 2017. Due to cloud cover, wildfire smoke, and snow cover the imagery acquisition was not completed in 2017 and some areas were acquired in 2018. The data are available from the State Library in two different formats. The most accessible format is a downloadable collection of compressed county mosaic (CCM) natural color MrSID images. These data are in UTM coordinates. The FTP folder containing these images is https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2017_NAIP/UTM_County_Mosaics. The data are available from the State Library as a collection 11,384 4-band (near infrared, red, green and blue) TIF images in UTM coordinates. Each image is about 400 megabytes. The tiling format of the TIFF imagery is based on 3.75 x 3.75 minute quarter-quadrangles with a 300 pixel buffer on all four sides. An ESRI shapefile index showing the extent and acquisition dates of the TIF images is available at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2017_NAIP/NAIP_2017_Index_Montana.zip. To order TIFF images from the State Library, select the quadrangles you want from the tiff index shapefile and send them to the Library, along with a storage device of sufficient size to hold them and return postage for the device.
