<abstract>The data encompasses portions of Flathead and Lake Counties in northwestern Montana, covering the upper Flathead Valley, Polson, and the shorelines of Whitefish, Swan, and Flathead Lakes.

Each tile is an orthorectified near infrared image collected from a Vexcel UltraCam XP camera.  The pixel resolution of the imagery is 1 foot.  The images were acquired between September 23 and September 25, 2009.</abstract>

<procdesc>Processing.

Aerial Triangulation was performed on the block of collected photographs.  Surveyed aerial targets were used as ground control and used in conjunction with tie points (relative image points) to correctly place imagery relative to the ground surface.  All imagery was orthorectified using the bare earth LiDAR surface model that was collected and processed with this dataset.</procdesc>
