Images Show JW Turk Power Plant Construction

The US Department of Agriculture Farm Services Agency released the 2009 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) data for Arkansas earlier this year.  The images here show the J.W. Turk power plant under construction.  The construction site is situated between Fulton and McNab in Hempstead County east of State Highway 355.  The image resolution is 1 Meter pixel size and was taken on September 8, 2009.  At the time the image was taken the construction site shown is nearly a mile long north-south and nearly a half mile wide east-west.
