Maine Statewide Orthoimagery Project 2018 for York, ME. All imagery was collected during the 2018 Spring flying season during leaf-off conditions for deciduous vegetation in the State of Maine. The sun angle was at 30-degrees or greater, and streams were within their normal banks. During the flight planning and acquisition, a significant effort was made to limit clouds, snow, fog, haze, smoke, or other ground obscuring conditions in the imagery. In no case does the maximum cloud cover exceed 5% per image. Within the immediate areas of power plants, factories, or controlled agricultural burns some steam or smoke and/or shadows may be visible on imagery. The Maine GeoLibrary Board has developed a statewide, 5-year, rotating orthoimagery acquisition program for Maine to facilitate state, regional and local government GIS base mapping in an efficient and cost effective program. The State of Maine will use digital orthoimagery for the development of various base map products in a computerized GIS that will support the needs of the state and multiple stakeholders through applications, such as, multi-jurisdictional homeland security mapping applications, state and county emergency management applications, regional and local planning, state and local public safety applications, economic development and other GIS business objectives.
