Descriptive namePictometry 2008 Ortho Sector Tiles - 4 inch
File namept08sor4
Spatial domainEastern Pima County
AbstractPictometry uses a grid of squares called "sectors" that define a project area. Pictometry calls these "Ortho Sector Tiles". The tiles represent the areas covered by each of the 4-inch resolution orthophotos in JPG format in the Pictometry 2008 data "AZPIMA08-093-TILES-4 INCH" directory.

pt08sor4 is that sector grid for the 2008 Pictometry 4 inch orthophotos in the Tucson metropolitan area.
Known errors/qualificationsWhile these pictometry sectors are approximately 1/2 mile square, they are not based on PLSS quarter sections and are offset considerably from the PLSS section grid.
