    1999 DOQs - Mosaic

    Interactive map information:
    DOQs - 3m    (Display scale range = 1:10,000 - 1:60,000)
    The mosaic of 3m DOQs covers most of Everglades National Park and the area south of the Tamiami Trail. DOQs (1 meter resolution) were downloaded from LABINS (Land Boundary Information System), resampled to 3m resolution, mosaicked, and divided into tiles using ERDAS Imagine 8.6. Each tile was reprojected to UTM, zone 17N, WGS84.

    DOQs - 6m    (Display scale range = 1:60,000 - 1:120,000)
    Area south of Lake Okeechobee to Everglades National Park
    The DOQ 2000 USGS 6m SID Format - Mosaic image created by the SFWMD was cropped to include the area south of Lake Okeechobee. The image was divided into tiles based on USGS 1:24000 7.5 minute quads using the map series and mosaic tools in ERDAS Imagine 8.6. All images were reprojected to UTM, zone 17N, WGS84 and exported as tiffs with worldfiles.

    Everglades National Park and the area south of the Tamiami Trail
    The mosaic of 3m DOQs was resampled to 6m and divided into tiles (5000m X 5000m)using the map series and mosaic tools in ERDAS Imagine 8.6. All images were reprojected to UTM, zone 17N, WGS84 and exported as tiffs with worldfiles.
