Landsat 7 First Light Image of Eastern South Dakota
Detailed Description
This color infrared image of Southeast South Dakota and Northeast Nebraska was advertised as the first image acquired by Landsat 7's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor on April 18, 1999.
The Missouri River, flowing in from the left edge of the image, is stopped by both the Fort Randall Dam, then further downstream, the Gavin’s Point Dam near Yankton. The river defines the South Dakota and Nebraska State lines, from south of Fort Randall Dam to the extreme southeastern tip of South Dakota that is beyond this image.
The James River flows from the top center of the image and flows southeast to meet up with the Missouri River east of Yankton.
