Aerial map of USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program One Program:
6.9 Million Square Miles Over 16 Years

Surdex is one of the largest digital mapping firms in the nation. We are one of a handful of aerial mapping companies in the nation continuously working on the USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). The program began in 2003 using film capture at 1-meter or 2-meter resolution over full or partial states, and by 2014 it had evolved to complete digital imagery acquisition at 1-meter or better resolution in 4-band format under absolute accuracy standards, with web hosting of preliminary and final orthoimagery.

Since the program began in 2003, Surdex has been responsible for:

  • Over one-quarter of the entire program’s orthoimagery
  • Over 4,700,000 DOQQs
  • 6,900,000 square miles
  • 96 state projects
  • A net coverage of 32 states

We manage programs as large as the NAIP, entire states including the State of Texas, multi-county projects, single counties and even municipalities. Each client receives our full attention and efforts on delivering a quality product in the timeframe you require.
