The National High Altitude Photography (NHAP) program was coordinated by the USGS as an interagency project to acquire cloud-free aerial photographs at an altitude of 40,000 feet above mean terrain elevation. Two different camera systems were used to obtain simultaneous coverage of black-and-white (BW) and color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs over the conterminous United States. The color-infrared photographs were taken with an 8.25-inch focal length lens and are at a scale of 1:58,000. The black-and-white photographs were taken with a 6-inch focal length lens and are at a scale of 1:80,000. The NHAP program, which was operational from 1980 to 1989, consists of approximately 500,000 images. Photographs were acquired on 9-inch film and centered over USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles. Visibility range of this layer includes scales from: 1:591,657,528 to 1:9,028.To view historical imagery availability by county please visit the Historical Availability of Imagery map.To view more NHAP imagery visit the NHAP Historical Imagery Gallery app.For ordering information please contact the GEO Customer Service Section at geo.sales@usda.gov.
