The County’s project is being completed in a two phase approach. The first phase will include topographic mapping at a 1”=200 ft. scale with 2-foot contours extending over 40 square miles and is covered by 161 B/W exposures. The
second phase will include topographic mapping at the same scale with an additional 50 B/W exposures extending over 12 square miles adjacent to the first implemented area. For both phases, VMR will provide B/W digital orthorectified
