| Title | LiDAR Elevation, Central Lakes Region, Minnesota, 2012 | |||
| Abstract | The vendor acquired highly accurate Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data for the Central Lakes area of Minnesota in Spring 2012. The data cover Aitkin, Cass, Hubbard, Itasca, Todd and Wadena counties, along with a portion of Koochiching County. LiDAR data are in the UTM Zone 15 coordinate system, NAD83 NAVD88 Geoid09 meters. The tiling scheme is 16th USGS 1:24,000 quadrangle tiles.
The vendor is currently processing the data for delivery to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR); DNR then quality checks the data. Once DNR approves a delivery block, the data becomes publicly available -- see map showing estimated publication dates: www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/elevation/Central_Lakes_Delivery_Schedule.pdf Note: This interim metadata record was created at the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office using information supplied by the DNR. More information will be added as it is received. | |||
| Purpose | The Minnesota Elevation Mapping Project was initiated to support the development of high accuracy land surface information for the purposes of improving water quality, flood emergency preparedness and response, floodplain mapping, transportation planning and design, recreational planning and design, urban planning and to provide more efficient and effective project planning and execution. This project was primarily funded by the Clean Water Fund of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.
