Index for large tile mosaics is in 20 km by 20 km grids. Also available are flight line indexes for the original 1 km by 1 km GeoTIFF tiles and for the 20 km by 20 km mosaics.
These georeferenced images are available in UTM zone 17, NAD83 coordinate system. Data is in MrSID compressed format and file size varies from 100 MB to over 600 MB.
