Smoke from last year’s wildfires prevented some areas in Western Montana from being collected to standard, therefore there will be gaps in the statewide imagery coverage. The gaps for Montana are scheduled to be flown in 2018. To view an image depicting the gaps, please click here: http://msl.mt.gov/Images/2017_NAIP_Gaps.png.
