The National Mapping Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has completed the production of 1:12,000 scale Digital Orthophotoquads for the South Florida Ecosystem Program study area. These products were produced in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the South Florida Water Management District, and the National Park Service. The Digital Orthophotoquads were produced from the latest National Aerial Photography Program's color infrared photography (CIR), flown during the period, 1994-96.

The Digital Orthophotoquads were cast on the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83), using the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection, with a resolution of 1 meter. They are being used by the program cooperators to support a variety of program requirements from digital revision of planimetric features, such as roads and streams, to the compilation and revision of land use and land cover information for the program area.

These products are currently available from the U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Science Information Center in Reston, Virginia. To obtain additional information on media options and delivery schedules call 1-800-USA-MAPS.
