Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) statewide aerial imagery mapping application. The imagery available for download is the most recent VBMP imagery for each area of Virginia

The Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) has coordinated and manages the development of a consistent, seamless, statewide digital road centerline file with address, road name, and state route number attribution, as part of the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP). The Road Centerline Program (RCL) leverages the Commonwealth's investment in the VBMP digital orthophotography and is focused on creating a single statewide, consistent digital road file. The RCL data layer is a dynamic dataset supported and maintained by Virginia's Local Governments, VDOT, and VGIN. VBMP RCL is extracted and provided back to local governments and state agencies in many geographic data sets every quarter.

Aerial imagery collected in Jan. 2019 at 6" pixel resolution.

This data set contains the 1937 aerial imagery for the majority of Loudoun County, VA. It is composed of United States Farm Service Agency (USDA FSA) hardcopy imagery, which were scanned, georeferenced, and mosaicked by Loudoun County OMAGI to produce digital representations. This aerial imagery is at a much larger scale than the County's other Historical Raster image (1957). There are only 200 photos that cover Loudoun County for the 37 imagery, as opposed to 700 for the 57.

These digital images were taken over an area of the Potomac River in Shepherdstown, West Virginia using 3DR Solo unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) on October 21, 2019. These images were collected for the purpose of evaluating UAS assessment of river habitat data such as water depth, substrate type, and water clarity. Each UAS was equipped with a Ricoh GRII digital camera for natural color photos, used to produce digital elevation models and ortho images. Some photographs contain black and white targets used as ground control points (GCPs), which were surveyed by a field crew with a high-precision (GNSS) Global Navigation Satellite System and/or containing internal post processing kinematic (PPK) GPS system. This data release includes the original true color images from the Ricoh GRII digital camera of the Potomac River in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.

Loudoun County annually obtains leaf-off, aerial imagery in the spring. Since 2004, the County has utilized this imagery to support the development of an annual digital orthophoto base. In 2023, the imagery was captured with a Vexcel Ultracam Eagle digital camera, in 4-band (R,G,B, and NIR) format. These files contain 1-foot ground-resolution, 8-bit, 4-band orthorectified aerial image map products in GeoTIFF version 6.0 file format. GeoTIFF files are uncompressed raster images complete with TFW coordinate information. The aerial imagery project encompasses the entire land area of the County of Loudoun, VA. Images were flown during leaf-off conditions and cover 5000' by 5000' and are tiled according to the VBMP 200-scale gridding schema (Virginia Geographic Information Network)."March 2023 Photography flown by The Sanborn Map Company, Inc.

Assessing the physical change to shorelines and wetlands is critical in determining the resiliency of wetland systems that protect adjacent habitat and communities. The wetland and back-barrier shorelines of Assateague Island, located in Maryland and Virginia, changed as a result of wave action and storm surge that occurred during Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall on October 29, 2012. The impact of Hurricane Sandy will be assessed and placed in its historical context to understand the future vulnerability of wetland systems. Making these assessments will rely on data extracted from current and historical resources such as maps, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and lidar elevation data, which document physical changes over time. This USGS Data Series publication includes several open-ocean shorelines, back-island shorelines, back-island shoreline points, sand area polygons, and sand lines for Assateague Island that were extracted from orthoimagery (ortho aerial photography) dated from April 12, 1989 to September 5, 2013. This dataset consists of polygons that represent the sand areas found in orthoimagery taken on the date specified in the filename and in the Date_ field in the feature attribute table. Orthoimagery of Assateague Island were acquired in digital format from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) courtesy of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Prior to processing, the images were trimmed to the Assateague Island area. Using ERDAS Imagine 9.3, the images were classified into 10-40 classes that were coded either sand or not sand. Using ArcGIS 10.1, the resulting coded raster datasets were converted to polygons and edited. The following list provides additional details about the orthoimagery used. The sand areas for each date is in a separate dataset (shapefile) named asis_sand_po_*.shp where the date, in YYYYMMDD format, replaces the asterisk. The orthoimage date for each polygon is also included in the shapefile attribute table Date_ field.

This 12-inch resolution aerial imagery for the area in and around Prince William Forest Park (PRWI) in Triangle, Virginia was collected on March 8, 2021 as part of the Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP) managed by the Virginia Geographic Information Network Division (VGIN) of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA). The individual raster tiles provided by VGIN were combined into a single raster file and projected into coordinate systems commonly-used by the NPS. The areas adjacent to the park under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Marine Corps have been removed for the security reasons.

These digital images were taken over an area of the Potomac River in Shepherdstown, West Virginia using 3DR Solo unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) on October 21, 2019. These images were collected for the purpose of evaluating UAS assessment of river habitat data such as water depth, substrate type, and water clarity. Each UAS was equipped with a FLIR Vue Pro R 640 13mm radiometric thermal camera that provides temperature data embedded in every pixel. Some photographs contain black and white targets used as ground control points (GCPs), which were surveyed by a field crew with a high-precision (GNSS) Global Navigation Satellite System and/or containing internal post processing kinematic (PPK) GPS system. This data release includes the original images from FLIR Vue Pro R 640 13mm radiometric thermal camera of the Potomac River in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.

The U.S. Geological Survey has a long history of responding to and documenting the impacts of storms along the Nation’s coasts and incorporating these data into storm impact and coastal change vulnerability assessments. These studies, however, have traditionally focused on sandy shorelines and sandy barrier-island systems, without consideration of impacts to coastal wetlands. The goal of the Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment project is to integrate a wetland-change assessment with existing coastal-change assessments for the adjacent sandy dunes and beaches, initially focusing on Assateague Island along the Maryland and Virginia coastline. Assateague Island was impacted by waves and storm surge associated with the passage of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, including erosion and overwash along the ocean-facing sandy shoreline as well as erosion and overwash deposition in the back-barrier and estuarine bay environments.
