UAV Imagery Added to Powdermill Nature Reserve Map

November 3, 2014 by James Whitacre

In collaboration with Civic Mapper, the Powdermill GIS Lab has captured fine-scale aerial imagery across various part of Powdermill Nature Reserve using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).  Imagery from two locations, the nature center and the avian research center, have been added as an optional layer to the Powdermill Nature Reserve web map.  (Note: for best results turn off the Powdermill Nature Reserve boundary layer). The imagery was captured on October 29th and 31st using a Go Pro camera on a DJI Phantom 2 flying at 40 meters. If you would like either of the full mosaic images (with or without georeferencing), please contact the GIS Lab.drone image of Powdermill Nature Center from above
