| Abstract | Check points were collected in Pine County, MN for use in quality-checking the vertical accuracy of the county's LiDAR data. The 100 check points were distributed across the county. Twenty check points were collected in each ground cover category outlined in FEMA's guideline and specs. The check points were collected with survey grade GPS. |

| Ordering Instructions | At the FTP site (click on 'Online Linkage' below) download the uncompressed files in the pine_co_elevation.gdb folder. One of the files is huge (12.6 gigabytes) and should be downloaded with an FTP client rather than a browser. The file geodatabase includes Pine County LiDAR-Derived 1-meter and 3-meter DEMs, a 3-meter hillshade, and the check points. Documentation for the DEMs and hillshade is at: http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/metadata/dem_pine06.html |

| Lineage | Houston Engineering collected 100 check points in Pine County, MN. The points were distributed across the county. 20 points were collected in each ground cover category outlined in FEMA's guideline and specs. The check points were collected with survey grade GPS and saved as a shapefile. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources added the check points to the file geodatabase of Pine County LiDAR-Derived DEMs. |
