This page can be used to locate and download 2005 color aerial photography in Johnston County. Due to the large size of the original half-foot pixel photography and the corresponding space and speed constraints, it was not practical to post these on the web. Therefore, the data was compressed to a 40:1 Mr. Sid format on a resampled one-foot pixel resolution. The original image metadata can be found at http://www.johnstonnc.com/files/gis/files/2005orthophotos.htm.

If you have high speed internet and don't mind waiting a few hours, you can download a mosaic of the entire county. This file is 1.75GB.

If you require the images to be in a different format, you can download the appropriate Lizardtech conversion program below. These programs can convert the Mr. Sid image to .jpg or .tif.

If you require a large number of images, or need this data in the original .tif half-foot resolution, please write or call Rhonda Penny at 919-989-5762 to make arrangements for borrowing a portable hard drive on which our office maintains a copy of the original .tif images.
