- Abstract: National Agricultural Imagery Program is color aerial photography typically collected every 2 or 3 years in the middle of the summer. Starting in 2006 the acquisitions have been statewide. The resolution is usually 1 meter with a horizontal positional accuracy of -/+ 5 meters. The 2018 & 2021 imagery is .6 meter (60 centimeter) resolution with a horizontal positional accuracy of -/+ 4 meters. For more information about the history of the NAIP collections take a look at this Map Tour from the USDA or visit their NAIP GeoHub.
2021
UGRC has the preliminary statewide
National Agricultural Imagery Program
(NAIP) 3-band aerial photography for Utah in Mr. Sid
county mosaics.
The imagery is .6-meter (60 centimeter) resolution and was collected in the summer and fall of 2021.
The date the photography was flown can be found in the IDATE
field in the associated shapefile.
Be aware some of the larger counties (ex. San Juan, Millard, Tooele and Box Elder) are no longer split
into multiple parts and their file size is upwards of 4 to 7 GB. The images have a UTM NAD83 meters projection.

2018
UGRC has statewide National
Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial photography for Utah. The imagery is .6 meter (60 centimeter)
resolution and was collected in the summer of 2018. Although the NAIP imagery collection is typically 4-band
imagery, we have separated the Red, Green, and Blue bands from the Infrared band. To merge the RGB images with the
single infrared band to create a 4-band image you can use the ArcGIS Composite Bands (Data Management) tool, the
Image Analysis window to add a Function Chain, or
create a Reference Mosaic. 3-band Mr. Sid
RGB and CIR (NIR-R-G) county
mosaics are also available.
The date the photography was flown can be found in the SrcImgDate
field of the NAIP2018
Index shapefile, in the .txt
metadata files after Calendar_Date
, or the
SDATE
field of the county mosaics shapefile. The images have a UTM NAD83 meters projection.
