Shapefile Abstract

This shapefile is based on the East-West Gateway’s orthoimagery tiles and their shapefile that provides an index of these tiles. Their shapefile covers the entire 2015 Aerial Imagery survey. This shapefile has been clipped so that it only identifies orthoimagery that covers areas within the City of St. Louis.
