Statewide hardcopy orthophotography coverage was completed in 1985, eleven years after the program was started. At that time, an updating process was started because the original orthophotography coverage was becoming less useful due to the age of the original photography. In 1994, DOQs were funded for Rutland and Windsor counties. With funding in each year since, seven of the fourteen counties are presently available. As represented by the outline of the State of Vermont, to the LEFT, the Digital Orthophotography Quadrangles are available as shown by the area of RED grid.
Production continues on an annual basis.
The area to east of the RED grid, Orange County, is next in the line of production. The State of Vermont has the most advanced coverage presently available anywhere in the United States. The Vermont Mapping Program offers a number of products ranging from aerial photography to Digital Orthophotography. Dates range from 1974 to 1998, depending on area of coverage. Most areas of the state have two vintages.
