Abstract: 
USGS 2008 High Resolution Orthoimagery Index for the Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven, Connecticut Urban Areas contains polygon features that delineate the boundaries used in the creation of the 2008 USGS High Resolution Area digital ortho photos for the Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven Connecticut urban areas. This index grid may be used to determine the orthophoto image files that aquired for the aerial photography, which was taken during the spring of 2008. It is 1 foot  orthorectified imagery, 3Band (natural color), leaf off. The ground resolution for this imagery is 1 foot per image pixel.
Purpose: 
This index is used to determine the name of the orthophoto image file aquired for each tile.
