DOQ 10-meter County Files - Data Download

This page provides links for downloading Minnesota's county Digital Orthophoto Quad (DOQ) data sets resampled to 10-meter resolution. These panchromatic county DOQs were created by the Land Management Information Center from U.S. Geological Survey 1-meter DOQs. The 10-meter county DOQs are useful as a layer of a geographic information system and are intended to provide a convenient background view at the county or township level. The resampling process (from 1-meter to 10-meter) greatly reduces the file sizes. For many applications at the county or township level, this loss of detail will not affect the final results. See the DOQ 10-meter county documentation for a full description of this dataset.

Each county is available in both EPPL7 and GeoTIFF formats. Files are large, ranging from 9 MB (Ramsey County) to 197 MB (Saint  Louis County). Approximate uncompressed county file sizes are listed; the two formats are similar in size. To obtain the data, go to a county on the list and select EPPL7 or GeoTIFF format to start the download. Each county file is zipped and can be opened with WinZip or PKUNZIP. Zipping the files reduces the file size slightly and allows files to be bundled. In addition to the county file, the zipped file includes the following:

  • doq10m.htm (the full documentation for this dataset)
  • NOTICE.TXT and .RTF (a disclaimer)

Once you select a file, your browser will generally ask you whether you want to open the file or save the file. Choose the 'save' or 'save to disk' option. Then specify where on your system you want the file to be saved. Download time ranges from 5 minutes per megabyte via a 28.8 K modem, to 3 minutes per megabyte via a 56 K modem, to 3 megabytes per minute via a DSL line.
