Online_Linkage: None 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: Year - date - scale - filmtype* - photo source** - photo I.D. 1951 - 12/09/1951 - 1:29,000 - B&W - USGS - PK 1958 - 09/12/1958 - 1:20,000 - B&W - ASCS - BFJ 1965 - 07/15/1965 - 1:23,000 - B&W - ASCS - BFJ 1980 - 04/19/1980 - 1:24,000 - B&W - SID - N/A 1990 - 09/25/1990 - 1:13,000 - CC - EMSL - 91793 *B&W: Black-and-white *CC: Conventional Color **ASCS: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, Salt Lake City, Utah **USGS: U.S. Geological Survey, Sioux Falls, South Dakota **SID: Sidwell Company, 28 W 240 North Ave., West Chicago, Illinois **EMSL: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 19580912 Time_of_Day: Unknown Currentness_Reference: Ground condition Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -87.423045 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -87.794924 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 41.721755 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 41.524359 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: aerial Theme_Keyword: photograph Theme_Keyword: aerial photograph Theme_Keyword: Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) Theme_Keyword: Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Theme_Keyword: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Theme_Keyword: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: Geography Network Keyword Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: environment Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: IGS Metadata Keyword Thesaurus Place_Keyword: Grand Calumet region Place_Keyword: Whiting Place_Keyword: East Chicago Place_Keyword: Hammond Place_Keyword: Black Oak Place_Keyword: Gary Place_Keyword: Lake County Place_Keyword: Northwest Indiana Place_Keyword: Indiana Temporal: Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus: Indiana Geological Survey Temporal_Keyword: 1958 Temporal_Keyword: 19580912 Access_Constraints: This file is available to anyone, but access may be contingent on written request, specific terms relevant to the agency or person making the request, and/or current freedom of information statutes in the state of Indiana.

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.
