Maryland Large-Scale Digital Orthophoto Data for The National Map
Award number 05HQAG0135, Category 4: Geographic Information Integration
This project builds on the successful work of the 2004 NSDI CAP
project, “Maryland Centerline Data for The National Map.” The
Towson University Center for Geographic Information Sciences (CGIS)
will work with the Maryland State Geographic Information Committee
(MSGIC), the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Howard
County, and the Eastern Shore Regional GIS Cooperative (ESRGC) to
incorporate recent large-scale digital orthophotography into The
National Map. The geographic area of interest includes Worcester,
Somerset, and Howard counties in the State of Maryland. A large part of
this effort will include addressing policy barriers that often stand in
the way of data sharing. These include data licensing, security, and
cost recovery policies.
