Service Description:
NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE IMAGERY BY USING THE MAP OR DOWNLOAD TOOLS ON THIS ARCGIS HUB ITEM PAGE. IT WILL RESULT IN A PIXELATED ORTHOIMAGE. INSTEAD, DOWNLOAD THE IMAGERY BY TILE OR BY COUNTY MOSAIC (2010 - current year).

The NC Orthoimagery Program collects and produces 6-inch (15cm) orthoimagery on a 4-year cycle. Approximately a quarter of the state is flown each year to develop streaming imagery services, 5,000' by 5,000' tiles, and compressed single-file county mosaics. Beginning in 2020, the State started collecting a fourth band (near infrared) of imagery which, when combined with the other 3 bands of red, green, and blue, opens new possibilities for exploration and analysis.

This service contains 3-band, natural color imagery collected by the NC Orthoimagery Program for any given area of North Carolina between 2020 and 2023. The imagery has a pixel resolution of 6 inches with an RMSE of 1.0 ft X and Y. Individual pixel values may have been altered during image processing. Therefore, this service should be used for general reference and viewing. This data is also available as a WMS service. Image analysis requiring examination of individual pixel values is discouraged. However, those needing analysis capability can take advantage of the Orthoimagery_2020_2023_4band_analysis service.  

To find specific dates the images were captured use the imagery dates app or download the data.

Viewing the latest imagery
Several web services are also available that depict the latest imagery for any location in the state.  These support general viewing and raster analysis and are offered in various protocols including Esri (e.g. REST, SOAP) and OGC (e.g., WMS, WFS, WCS). These can be found by searching using the terms "orthoimagery" and "latest." To help determine which is most suitable, refer to this guide.
