The West Virginia Dept of Health and Human Services (WVDHHS) purchased a statewide digital “image map” created from current SPOT satellite imagery. This is the most up-to-date, consistent quality statewide coverage that has been produced since the previous West Virginia statewide SPOT coverage in 1994-95. The West Virginia image map is being created from 10-meter resolution imagery, currently being acquired by the SPOT satellite series. The imagery is processed to a high degree of map accuracy and formatted for easy use in desktop mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).
