USGS Earth Science Information Center
In 1983, the Montana Bureau of Mines
and Geology became an affiliate of the Earth Science Information Center (E.S.I.C.).
This program is part of the information branch of the National Mapping Program
administered by the U.S. Geological Survey. Its mission is to help users
gain better, faster, low-cost access to the cartographic holdings of Federal,
State and private agencies. Through microfiche indexing, catalogues, and
search systems, the Bureau assists interested persons and agencies in obtaining
a variety of aerial and space imagery for the state of Montana. These coverages
include Landsat imagery and the manned spacecraft photos from Apollo, Gemini,
and Skylab programs.
