The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) produced an orthorectified aerial optical image mosaic (orthoimage) and digital surface model over an area extending from milepost (MP) 17 to approximately MP 24.5 on the Alaska State Highway 7 (Haines Highway) north of Haines along the Chilkat River in southeast Alaska. The aerial photogrammetric survey targeted large debris fans and their alpine source areas on the west side of the Takshanuk Mountains in support of cryosphere hazards mapping and monitoring efforts. Aerial photographs and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data were collected on May 26, 2014, and were processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetric techniques to create the orthoimagery. For the purpose of enabling open access to geospatial datasets in Alaska, this collection is being released as a Raw Data File with an open end-user license. The data files available for download are tiled GeoTIFFs. All data are projected in UTM Zone 8 North (meters) using the NAD83 (2011; EPSG 6337) horizontal datum and NAVD88 (Geoid12A; EPOCH 2010.00) vertical datum. The orthoimage is a three-band, 8-bit unsigned GeoTIFF file using LZW compression. The orthoimage has a GSD of 0.21 m per pixel, and the "No Data" value is set to 0. Variable lighting in the orthoimages may result from variable sky conditions during the time of data acquisition.
