United States Geological Survey-HTTP Server-Home Page The U.S. Geological Survey provides people of the United States with reliable, impartial information to describe and understand the Earth. This information is used to:

  • minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters;
  • manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources;
  • enhance and protect the quality of life; and
  • contribute to wise economic and physical development.

    USGS: Special Projects Images The EROS Data Center houses millions of images -- aerial photographs, mainly for mapping, and various kinds of satellite images for scientific study. Among all these pictures, naturally, are some that are beautiful, some that record events of historic significance, and some that stir the imagination for other reasons.

    This page contains a selection of such images, available from EROS Customer Services as photographic products in sizes up to 40 inches square. Next to each image is the size of the graphic file in bytes, as an approximate indication of download time.
