Title: Cypress Bayou Watershed Study (Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Element)
Scale:
Format: Arc Info v.7.0.2 format and registered to the Albers Equal Area Conic projection
Description: The Cypress Bayou Watershed Study (GIS element) is a digital geospatial database detailing the physical, environmental, and economic characteristics of the Cypress Bayou watershed. The project area encompasses the drainage of Cypress Bayou, a major southeast flowing tributary of the Red River and takes in large portions of 11 counties in Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana. The boundary of the GIS study is based largely on the physical watershed of the Cypress Bayou, but also takes into account areas of economic and recreational interest and political boundaries. Digital representations of roads, streams, geology, soils, topography, satellite imagery, land cover, and environmentally sensitive sites were compiled to create a baseline geographic information database providing a holistic look at the watershed.

Title: Aerial Photography Collection
Scale:
Format:
Description: The New Orleans District's photo holdings encompass much of the State of Louisiana, with primary coverage in Southern Louisiana below 31 degrees 30' North Latitude. Some coverage exists for Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas in areas bordering Louisiana. The Mississippi River from Mile 330 to the Gulf of Mexico, the Atchafalaya River, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (within New Orleans District) are photographed on a biennial basis.. The Atchafalaya River Delta is photographed annually to capture delta growth. Grand Isle is photographed biannually to monitor shoreline erosion. Recent photography is available in digital format and geo-referenced for specific project areas, such as revetment areas along the Mississippi River. Also, digital photo data exists for projects developed via Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The holdings date from 1921 to present and represent over two thousand photo missions.
Data Location: Originator: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; The New Orleans District maintains a searchable automated index of the photo holdings. The index contains mission number, photo date, film format, focal length, film type, sensor class, photo center coordinates, and flight line azimuths. A summary of this index is periodically submitted to the Corps_geo1 Metadata Server (in HTML format) and to the USGS nation-wide Aerial Photo Summary Record System database.

 

Title: Aerial Photography Collection
Scale: The negative scale of the photography ranges from 1"=220' to 1"=2000' although early National High Altitude Photography (NHAP) photography are at a smaller scale such as 1:68,000.
Format: The photography is in film formats of 9x9, 9x18, 10x10, and 3.5". The film types are typically Black & White, Black & White Infrared, Color, and Color Infrared.
Description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintains an extensive aerial photography collection in contact print and film negative format, as well as, scanned digital photo files. Photographic ground coverage is usually obtained as: wide-area coverage, linear coverage along waterways, and spot coverage for project areas. Camera calibration reports are available for photography used in creating topographic maps. The photo sensor class is primarily vertical cartographic, with some use of oblique photography. Some photography is controlled and rectified photogrammetrically, resulting in control survey data and analytical aerotriangulation reports. USACE Engineer Manual (EM) 1110-1-1000, Photogrammetric Mapping, presents procedural guidance, technical specifications, and quality control criteria for performing aerial photogrammetric mapping activities.
Data Location: Originator: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Tulsa, Oklahoma (OK). The Tulsa District began collecting this type of data in 1920 and began maintaining the data in digital form and geo-referenced in 1960. Primary coverage encompasses Missouri, Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. Unpublished material.

 

Title: Digital Imagery Collection
Scale:
Format: The data is stored in a variety of formats including Tag Image File Format (TIFF), Joint Photographic Expects Group (JPEG), Band Interleaved by Line (BIL), Sun raster, and Erdas Local Area Network (LAN) and Bitmap Graphics (IMG).
Description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintains a digital imagery data collection from a variety of sources and in a variety of forms including airborne scanners, satellites, ortho-imagery, digital video, and digital cameras. Some aerial photos have been scanned for automated processing and analysis. Some commercial imagery held by USACE is covered by copyright and cannot be distributed. The Tulsa District began acquiring this type of data in 1960 . Primary coverage encompasses Kansas, Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Data Location: Originator: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Tulsa, OK. The Corps of Engineers acquires this digital imagery for flood control, navigation, regulatory, and environmental engineering projects as well as in support of Army installations and other agencies. The data is used on project planning, feasibility & reconnaissance studies, detailed engineering designs, and routine project surveillance. This data also capture floods, hurricanes, and other disasters, as well as the resulting damage. Unpublished material.

 

Title: Topographic Survey Data Collection
Scale: Equal to or larger than 1 inch = 100 feet (1:1200)
Format: USACE collects this data in accordance with the criteria and guidance in USACE Engineer Manual (EM) 1110-1-1005, "Topographic Surveying." This manual covers field survey techniques using modern electronic total stations and electronic data collectors. Data collection file formats are specified in the EM.
Description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintains a collection of topographic survey data files that contain either real world coordinates, project coordinates, or point-on-range (distance & elevation) coordinates that can be related to absolute positions on the earth. In addition, the files have survey information such as location, date of survey, datum, and control. Topographic surveys are performed to determine planimetric location and topographic relief of features in three dimensions. The data is collected to support planning, engineering and design, construction of military and civil works projects, and environmental restoration activities. Civil applications include channel and levee slope stability analyses and to monitor sedimentation and the changing hydraulic characteristics of rivers, spillways, flood ways, and reservoirs.
