Missouri and Landsat

Detailed Description

Missouri, one of only two States that borders eight different States, lies in the heart of the United States. Distinguished by its farm fields and forests, substantial rivers and lakes, and cities filled with culture and industry, the “Show Me State” has abundant beauty and a long history of connecting the East and the West. The Pony Express, Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail, and California Trail all began in Missouri.

The land and the people of Missouri contribute to its resiliency. Landsat data provide important tools for Missourians to protect their landscapes and waterways and enhance their economy under a variety of circumstances, from fast-arising natural disasters to longer-term environmental phenomena.
