The USGS NAIP Plus service, provided by The National Map, offers a comprehensive collection of National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and high-resolution orthoimagery (HRO). This imagery effectively combines the visual detail of aerial photographs with the precise spatial accuracy inherent in maps, making it a valuable resource for various applications. Digital orthoimage resolutions range from 6 inches to 1 meter, with every pixel representing a corresponding square area on the Earth's surface.
This imagery dataset covers the conterminous United States, with many urban areas and other specific locations boasting even finer 1-foot (or better) resolution. The program benefits from contributions from numerous states and a significant partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency. Users can access and freely download public domain, 1-meter resolution orthoimagery, and higher-resolution data, primarily in JPEG 2000 (jp2) format.
This service is easily viewable through various platforms including ArcGIS JavaScript, ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, and ArcGIS Earth, highlighting its accessibility for web-mapping and GIS applications. It serves as a critical data hub for agriculture, land-use and land-cover analysis, and environmental monitoring across the nation.
