Guide to Using DOQQs from the ARIA Site
Introduction
Arizona Regional Image Archive (ARIA) is making available the U.S. Geological Survey's Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) for Arizona that were purchased by the University of Arizona Library.
DOQQS are scanned, ortho-rectified black-and-white (b/w) and color high-altitude aerial photographs from the National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) program. You can directly link to ARIA's DOQQ page to find additional information. Each DOQQ image covers 1/4 of a U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute quadrangle (1:24,000 scale topographic map).
