50 meter contour lines generated from a 10 meter DEM (from the 2011 LiDAR Bare Earth DEM), Blue River Watershed

Summary

The purpose of the 50 meter contour layer is to provide topographic relief and information on maps, images, and through analysis. The lines have been generalized to make a smoother, more visually appealing surface. This data will match up with the LiDAR generated stream and road layers, and the 1 meter DEMs.

Description

The 50 meter contour lines were generated from a 10 meter digital elevation model (DEM) that was produced from the 1 meter Blue River Watershed Bare-earth DEM. The contour lines from the 1 meter DEM were too ragged to use for mapping purposes, hense the need to generalize the DEM out to 10 meters. The data is in an esri format shape file, and the contour lines are at 50 meter intervals. The value represents the number of meters above see level (elevation).
