While I have most of the forest service data that I can put together my own maps with my own styling, the raster feed sure is convenient for making quick and beautiful maps, especially overlaid with additonal campsite or hillshade data.

National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) History 2002-2019

National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) History 2002-2019

The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires aerial imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the contiguous U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to make digital ortho photography available to governmental agencies and the public within a year of acquisition.

NAIP is administered by the USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) through the Aerial Photography Field Office in Salt Lake City. This "leaf-on" imagery is used as a base layer for GIS programs in FSA's County Service Centers, and is used to maintain the Common Land Unit (CLU) boundaries.
