Beginning Monday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will be conducting aerial mapping of Highway 32 from Highway 10 to just north of the Clay County line, and along Highway 10 from Highway 32 to Hawley.
This mapping is to create a record of what is currently exists, and will be used for future planning. In order to get accurate aerial mapping it is required to set targets that will show up in the photographs. These targets are a large white "X'' painted on paved surfaces, or a plastic or fabric "X" if placed on unpaved surfaces. A survey crew then records the coordinate position and elevation of these targets, and provides the information to the aerial photography company. The targets are temporary, and will be removed upon completion of the photography.
Mn/DOT is asking landowners to work around these targets until the photography is completed. If one has to be moved, please contact the District 4 Survey office at 847-1558.
