Abstract Orthophotos combine the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. The digital orthophoto quarter quadrangle images (DOQQ) created by the USGS are 1-meter ground resolution, quarter-quadrangle (3.75 minutes of latitude by 3.75 minutes of longitude) images cast on the Universal Transverse Mercator Projection (UTM) on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).The Montana State Library has modified these images to make them available on our web site. They are available as MrSID images, each covering an entire quadrangle. The entire state and Yellowstone National Park are avaialble in Montana State Plane NAD83 coordinates, and large parts of the state are also available in UTM NAD27 coordinates as MrSID images. All of these images are black-and-white, and they were produced from images taken between 1990 and 2003. An index file of the predominant image date for each quarter-quadrangle is available at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/DOQQ_BW/doqq_index.zip.
Purpose DOQ's are useful in any application where aerial photographs are required, and they can be used to determine the geographic location of objects visible on the photos.
