Description:
Abstract:
This dataset shows the 1958 aerial photography catalog for the northwestern part of Lake County, Indiana. The following paragraphs were excerpted from various parts of the four-volume series titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study":

"This report presents an intensive site inventory and landuse/landcover study of approximately 110-square miles in Northwest Indiana....Five selected dates; 1951, 1958, 1965, 1980, and 1990, of black-and-white and conventional color aerial photography were used to perform the inventory. The 1951 and 1990 photography were selected for the landuse/landcover study."

"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada, prepared this report for the Water Division, Water Compliance Section, and the Waste Management Division, Superfund Program Management Branch, Technical Support Section in Region 5, at Chicago, Illinois, and the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response in Washington, D.C."

Purpose:
This dataset was produced to provide GIS users access to a digital version of the 1958 aerial photography catalog produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Supplemental_Information:
This dataset was developed from a four-volume series of reports produced by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, (1991) titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study." Volume 1 covers the areas of Whiting and East Chicago. Volume 2 covers the Hammond area. Volume 3 covers the areas of Black Oak and Gary. Volume 4 covers the area of Gary.

The following was excerpted from Table 1 of the four-volume series titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study," and contains documentation information of the aerial photography used for the 1951 through 1990 imagery used to create this image catalog:

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The four-volume report titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study" (EPA, 1991) was provided by personnel of IDEM to personnel of the IGS, as part of a contract with IDEM and USACE to produce a GIS database.

IGS personnel scanned the historical aerial photos and mylar overlays containing landuse designations and waste-site inventories. The images were produced at a resolution of 600 dpi and were saved in TIFF format.

The ESRI ArcGIS (v 9.1) Georeferencing tool was then used to georeference the aerial photographs, using the 2003 National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) color aerial photographs as the base data. The default transformation method named "1st Order Polynomial (Affine)" was used. The coordinate system that was used is UTM Zone 16, NAD 83. On average, 20 control points were used to georeference each of the historical aerial photographs.

ESRI ArcCatalog was then used to create the personal geodatabase raster catalog GRAND_CAL_AERIALS_1958. ESRI ArcCatalog was then used to load all of the individual 1958 aerial photographs into the raster catalog for the entire study area.
