2011 Las Conchas Post Fire Tile Index

This data set consists of an orthophotography tile index based on
multi-spectral (red, green, blue, near-infrared) digital aerial imagery, collected
and processed by Wilson and Company, of the Las Conchas Fire that burned in the
Santa Fe National Forest in the Jemez Mountains of central New Mexico in the summer
of 2011. The Area of Interest (AOI) is 632,000 acres and is larger than the actual
burn acreage of approximately 150,000 acres that lies within the AOI. Aerial imagery
was collected with a frame - based Z/I Digital Mapping Camera at an average
elevation of 4,500 feet above ground; generating an average ground sample distance
(gsd) of 0.45 feet. The imagery will support the Forest Service Burned Area
Emergency Response (BAER) program that addresses landscape damage due to the fire,
with the goal of protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated
ecosystems from further damage now that the fire is out. Mosaicked digital
orthorectified quarter-quarter quadrangles (DOQQQs) for the project area were
produced. The DOQQQs cover the entire image area of one quarter of a USGS standard
quarter quadrant, with a 260 meter buffer on all four sides.
