      <abstract>This data set was prepared for the City of Helena, Lewis and Clark County, and the U.S. Geological Survey by Surdex Corporation of Saint Louis, Missouri.  It is an orthorectified mosiac of natural-color aerial photos from April 26, 2004.  The horizontal resolution of the images are one foot.  This data was originally provided to the State Library in UTM coordinates as TIFF images in UTM coordinates with a resolution of 0.3 meters.  The Library converted the images to State Plane Coordinates and re-sampled the resolution to one foot (0.3048 meters).</abstract>
      <purpose>Digital images or aerial photographs were captured to support various governmental, municipal, tribal, and emergency management GIS activities.  Orthorectified imagery products will be used to identify and collect geospatial information about structures, transportation, infrastructure, facilities and other information relative to multiple GIS applications.</purpose>

    <attracc>
      <attraccr>Rigorous QC procedures are applied during photographic acquisition and inspection to ensure minimal amounts of radiometric variability in images.   A global color balance is performed on final mosaicked images.  Slight radiometric differences may occur between adjacent orthoimages due to the following; source photography capture dates, times and sun angles of aerial photography along flight lines.</attraccr>
