Las Vegas, Nevada, provides an example of the sensor’s ability to monitor change over time. The Thematic Mapper captured these true-color, photo-like images on (top to bottom) October 22, 1984; May 29, 1989; June 28, 1994; May 9, 1999; June 7, 2004; and January 12, 2009.
These images of the western portion of the Las Vegas metropolitan area show the city’s steady spread into the adjacent desert landscape.
