The Metropolitan Council has licensed spring 2005 aerial photography of the 7-county Twin Cities metropolitan area from Markhurd, Inc. The leaf-off photos were acquired in April 2005 with a digital camera at approximately 20,000 feet at 2 foot resolution.

Color, color-infrared and black-and-white DOQs in MrSID Generation 3 format on DVDs are available to MetroGIS participants only upon completion of a 2005 DOQ license agreement. MetroGIS participants include: all cities, townships, school districts, watershed districts, and counties in the metropolitan area; regional and state agencies; federal government agencies with geospatial activities within the metropolitan area; and any Minnesota academic institution of higher learning.

The MetroGIS 2005 DOQ license, order form and metadata are available at http://gis.metc.state.mn.us/data_information/order_2005_doq.asp.
