These data depict geographic features on the surface of the earth. They were created primarily as a visual aid for urban and county planning. The documentation and the tile index shapefile indicate that 1102 images were collected for this project. However, there are only 1101 images available for download (March 2021) from USGS EarthExplorer. This image is missing from the collection: 11TNJ430240.tifStandards-based geospatial metadata did not accompany the source files for the collection. A standards-based metadata file for ground control points is included with the collection. See the vendor supplied PDF report for detailed collection information. The exact date of the flight appears to be 20130614 but the report has a question mark next to that date.The source data for this service are available for download from USGS EarthExplorer. Individual image tiles can be downloaded using the Idaho Aerial Imagery Explorer.These data can be bulk downloaded from a web accessible folder.Source Metadata From USGS EarthExplorer:Beginning Date: 2013/06/14Ending Date: 2013/06/14EPSG: 26911Map Projection Description: NAD83 / UTM zone 11NState/Province/Country: IDDatum: NAD83Dataset: 201306_boise_treasure_valley_id_0x1500m_utm_clrProjection Zone: 11Sensor: UNKNOWNSensor Type: ColorNumber of Bands: 3Vendor: 3DI_GEOTERRA_MAPPINGResolution: 0.15Units of Resolution: METERAgency: COMPASSUsers should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since these data were collected and that some parts of these data may no longer represent actual surface conditions.
