Abstract:
INDEX_FF is a spatial index of photo numbers and locations for the Maine GIS image mosaic ORTHO_FF. ORTHO_FF is high resolution 24-bit color orthophotography for the Town of Fort Fairfield, ME. INDEX_FF contains the items PHOTO and PHOTO_DATE.
Purpose:
INDEX_FF was created as a spatial index of numeric file names and locations in ORTHO_FF. The file names of the stored and distributed copies of ORTHO_FF were created from the same 10 digit numeric designation originally assigned by the vendor.

1:1200 ORTHO_FF consists of high resolution, 24-bit color orthophotography. Flown in May 2003 the ortho-rectified digital imagery covers all of Fort Fairfield, Maine. These digital images have a pixel resolution (or ground sample distance GSD) of 1/2 foot, are precision geo-referenced and ortho-rectified, and accurate for 1"=100' mapping applications. The digital orthoimagery has been made available by the Bradstreet Consultants, Inc. and the Town of Fort Fairfield.
Original file sizes were: 100 images at 1800 meters by 1200 meters, butt matched with no overlap and an image file size of 281 MB; and 24 images at 900 meters by 600 meters, with a file size of 70 MB and also butt matched with no overlap. For distribution in the Maine GIS Internet Data Catalog the 24, 900 meter x 600 meter files, were appended into 6, 1800 meter by 1200 meter files. The lower left or southwestern-most photo number was used to identify each of the appended tiles. A file index, INDEX_FF reflects this change recording 106 reference numbers.

INDEX_FF contains the items PHOTO and PHOTO_DATE. These are coded with the file names and flight date of the aerial photography for the high resolution 24-bit color orthophotography contained in the Maine GIS image mosaic ORTHO_FF.
Entity and Attribute Detail Citation:
The ArcView shapefile and ArcGIS geodatabase formats, commonly used for Maine GIS data, carry default identifiers and attributes that are software generated and/or important for internal recordkeeping. These are listed here to avoid repetition for every layer, and may not be repeated in the attribute descriptions and definitions of each layer. Common software generated identifiers and attributes in Maine GIS data include: FID (feature identifier), Shape (feature geometry), OBJECTID and SHAPE_lengt. In addition, most GIS formats will carry fields for PERIMETER, AREA and/or LENGTH according to feature geometry. These fields are typically available by default, with the units based on coordinate system or projection units of GIS data. Most GIS software packages also provide a means to calculate these values. It is important to test any columns containing PERIMETER, AREA or LENGTH values before using them for analysis purposes. These important values can be carried from format to format and become out-dated. Verify that the values are correct. Also, in your GIS software, please view the properties of data layers for the map units used to calculate these fields, and for the units set for display purposes.

Format Specification: ArcView Shapefile Format
Format Information Content:
MEGIS has made all vector layers, in the Maine GIS Internet Data Catalog, available in ESRI's ArcView shapefile format. A shapefile is a simple non-topological format that stores the geometry and attribute information for a set of geographic features as a set of vector (point, line, polygon) coordinates. Shapefiles draw quickly and directly in ArcView, ArcGIS, ArcExplorer. Shapefiles are a compatible data type for many other types of GIS software. Three files are fundamental to each shapefile: .shp stores the feature geometry (shape and location information); .shx stores the index of the feature geometry; .dbf a dBASE (TM) file stores the attribute information for the features. Other index files may be created to help speed analysis and query: these file formats are .sbn .sbx .ain .aix .fbn and .fbx. In addition you may find projection .prj, and metadata .xml, files associated with shapefiles.
