Recognizing the importance to public safety and to many other government operations of high-quality aerial imagery, the Missouri 911 Service Board has partnered with the Department of Conservation, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Missouri GIS Advisory Council to launch a statewide imagery collection program. The imagery will be available at no charge through the Missouri Spatial Data Information Service (MSDIS). The Sanborn Map Company (Sanborn or Sanborn Geospatial) will collect state-wide leaf-off 6-inch resolution 4-band orthoimagery that meets the State’s Photogrammetric Services standard. The northern portion of the state will be collected in 2023, and the southern portion in 2024.
