2000 Upper Mississippi River System Color Infrared Aerial Photograph Products

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program, through its Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element, collected aerial imagery of the systemic Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) during the summer of 2000. The main purpose of the aerial imagery was to develop Land Cover/Land Use (LCU) spatial datasets of navigable pools (the stretch of river between locks and dams) and reaches of the UMRS. 

This dataset consists of digital scans of color infrared aerial photography from the Upper Mississippi River System collected in 2000, orthophotos created from those digital scans, and mosaics of the orthophotos for each navigation pool.
