What does this data set describe?
    Title:
    Color Orthophotos flown in 2000 at 400 scale of Rural Western York County
    Abstract:
    The orthophotos are a raster data set derived from 1:4800 or 400 scale aerial photography that was flown in February of 2000 with a pixel size of 2 foot.

    The Year 2000 flyover resulted in a color digital coverage for the entire county. The coverage delivered included a total of 709(sheets) with 117 at 400' scale with a pixel size of 2 foot, 312 at 200' scale with a pixel size of 1 foot, and 220 at 200' scale with a pixel size of 1 foot and with topography and planimetrics.
