[aerial photography] An orthophotograph that has been formatted as a USGS 1:24,000 topographic quadrangle with little or no cartographic enhancement.
Geological Survey (USGS) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) have established standards for the production of digital orthophotoquads. The following is a list of the major standards: ...
For one, all new NRCS soil surveys are published on orthophotoquads. Secondly, aerial photointerpretation of landforms, vegetation, land use, photo tone, ...
3.Large scale (1:24,000) land use/land cover data for metropolitan areas and other areas experiencing rapid growth. Generally, this component will use the digital orthophotoquadrangle data as a mapping source.
The mapping bases meet national map accuracy standards and are either orthophotoquads or 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles. SSURGO data are collected and archived in 7.
The boundaries of the soil units are delineated from aerial photographs ranging in scale from 1:15,840 to 1:31,680 combined with extensive fieldwork. The delineated soil boundaries are transferred to 7.5-minute orthophotoquads or topographic maps ...
