South Dakota Counties Aerial Photos Collection

The air photos in this collection were scanned at a resolution of 200 dots/inch and the images are stored in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)(*.tif) files. The images were scanned using a grayscale. The images in this are not easily available from other sources (e.g., USDA-NRCS or EROS Data Center) and were scanned to preserve them for future use between 2001 and 2006. The paper copies of the air photos were deteriorating and this method was used to keep the information.

Lawrence County, SD Air Photos (1961-Part A)

Plant Science Department

Pedology CD 01-02
This CD contains 212 images from 1961 for Lawrence County, SD.

The paper copies of the air photos were deteriorating and this method was used to keep the information. The photos are from 1961. No index map was prepared for the photos. The scale of the original photos was 1:20,000 or 3.17 inches = 1 mile. The inventory of images does not represent coverage of the entire county. The images contained in this file represent part of the air photo collection for the named county that the SDSU Pedology project had on July 2001.

The structure of the files in the file is as follows:
1. There is a file folder for the county (e.g. Lawrence).
2. Within the county folder there is a folder for the year and month of the air photos (e.g. 1961Jun).
3. Within each year folder there are files for each photo scanned. The images are identified by the code used on the original photo/image. There is a county ID, a flight ID, and a photo ID on each air photo and that is what was used to name the image (e.g. BOE-1BB-46).
4. Where possible, the original photo ID information was scanned with the photo (left [west] side of the image).
5. Where more than one scan of an image was needed to scan all the image, the image ID was followed by an additional set of letters to indicate what part of the image the scan represents (e.g. BOE-1BB-67BTM – bottom of image BOE-1BB-67).
