      <abstract>Aerial photo mosaics of the Yellowstone River corridor.  Images are from 1976, in MrSID format.  These images range in size from 12 to 55 megabytes.

These images were georeferenced to 1995 U.S. Geological Survey Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles.  Positional accuracy was targeted on the river corridor.  Little effort was made to reference the upland areas in regions of high relief.

In general, there is one image for each county, from Sweet Grass to Dawson.  Yellowstone County is divided into 5 images.  Yellowstone1 covers the Laurel/Yegen area.  Yellowstone2 covers the area around Billings.  Yellowstone3 covers the area around Huntley.  Yellowstone4 covers the area around Ballantine and Pompey's Pillar.  Yellowstone5 covers the area around Custer.

Some older GIS applications may need .sdw files to accompany these files for georeferencing information.  ESRI's ArcMap needs .aux files to read the coordinate system of the images from.  These files may be accessed at ftp://ftp.geoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/NonMSDI/Collections/Yellowstone_River_Clearinghouse/Imagery/1976/aux_and_sdw.zip.</abstract>
      <purpose>Developed as part of the Yellowstone River Cummulative Effects Study.  Imagery is intended for reach level analysis of changes in the Yellowstone River Corridor.</purpose>

        <horizpar>Individual images were georeferenced to 1995 DOQs at a scale of approximately 1:6,000.  Number of registration points varied depending on the ammount of distortion in the original photograph.  Positional accuracy targeted the river corridor.

        <procdesc>ENVI was used to georeference individual images to match 1995 DOQs.  Control points focused on the river corridor.  When the georeferencing closely matched unchaged areas in the DOQs, the image was rectified and saved as a new TIF image with referencing information.  Edge matching between overlapping images was performed so that the 'top' image represented the best georeferencing.</procdesc>
