The Missouri State University Mountain Grove Campus Mapping Project – based on the success of the 2004 Springfield Campus Mapping Project and the CNAS Centennial Project, students prepared a geospatial dataset that will be used in the development of an interactive map for the Missouri State University Mountain Grove Campus. Mountain Grove is located in the Ozark Plateau region of South-central Missouri . The land surrounding Mountain Grove is covered by a mixture of farmland and forested areas. The campus at Mountain Grove, is a 190 acre campus located on a reasonably flat piece of land. The image below shows the geodatabase created for the campus with the true color aerial photograph in the background.

One of the key remotely sensed imagery used in the project was provided Henrietta Christensen, who flew over the Mt. Grove campus on March 28th, 2005 and acquired a true color digital imagery for the students to work with.

The geodatabase created by the team contains aerial photography form 1960 to present, shape files for roads, campus buildings and locations of trees, polygon files for various orchards and additional datasets. It can be obtained by clicking below (note the file is large and might require hours to download using a dial-up modem; the file can be viewed in ESRI ArcMap Version 9).
