Description:

Abstract:

Connecticut 1990 Orthophoto Tile Index contains polygon features that dellineate the boundaries used by the USGS in the creation of the 1990 digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQs) for Connecticut. This index grid may be used to determine the name of the 1990 DOQQ file for a particular tile. Aerial photography was acquired during the spring of 1990. It is 1 meter orthorectified imagery, single band (black and white), leaf off. The ground resolution for this imagery is 1 meter per image pixel.

Purpose:

Use this index grid to determine the name of the Connecticut 1990 DOQQ image file for a particular tile.

Attribute_Definition:

Quadrangle Number - An ID number designated by the State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Center in the 1980's to uniquely identify individual 7.5 minute 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic quadrangle maps. The Quadrangle Number value of each point feature identifies the USGS topographic quadrangle map that the orthophoto center point is located on.

Attribute_Definition_Source:

State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection

Attribute_Domain_Values:

Unrepresentable_Domain:

Numeric value. Quadrangle maps published by the USGS that cover the Connecticut mainland and coastal area are assigned numeric values ranging from 1-116. Two quadrangle areas covering the waters of Connecticut in Long Island Sound are assigned numeric values 1213 and 12

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: QUAD_SEC

Attribute_Definition:

Quadrangle Section - There are 4 sections per 7.5 minute quadrangle, each one corresponding to a 3.75 minute quarter quadrangle area. The Quadrangle Section value of each point feature identifies the (NE, NW, SE, SW) section of the 7.5 minute 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic quadrangle map that the orthophoto center point is located on.
