Orthoimagery Web Services

GIS web services allow users to connect to data sources through the internet rather than downloading and storing copies of the data on their own systems. The New York State Office of Cyber Security (OCS) is pleased to provide access to statewide orthoimagery coverage through web services. Users are encouraged to use the services to display orthoimagery in their desktop GIS and web applications.

All available NY Statewide Digital Orthoimagery Program (NYSDOP) data (2000-2011) and the USGS National Aerial Photography Program (1994-1999) data are available through web services hosted by the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES). Information on connecting is available at gis.ny.gov/gateway/mg/webserv/webserv.html.

In partnership with USGS, OCS also has made many years of the NYSDOP imagery available through services hosted by USGS. Information on connecting to these services is available at gis.ny.gov/gateway/mg/webserv/eros.html.
