Abstract
2 foot topographic contours

Purpose
Topographic coverage is derived from the digital elevation data taken March 2001. Index contours, intermediate contours are presented and index contours are appropriately labeled.

COVERAGE DERIVATION:

The countywide topography was interpolated using Surfer point interpolation software. The input files were variably spaced Lidar data that were re-sampled to produce a smooth 10 ft -by-10 ft digital elevation model (DEM) grid.

CONTOUR CAPTURE SPECIFICATION

Topographic contour lines were developed at two-foot intervals using Terramodel's contour interpolation module. The contour generation module automatically generates contour lines from the 10 ft -by-10 ft DEM grid points obtained through stereo-compilation.

Index contours are generated at every fifth contour. Intermediate contours represent the four topographic lines between index contours. Intermediate and index contours are stored as visible lines in an ARC/INFO AAT file. The elevations for all contour lines will be stored in a three-position integer item called ELEVATION.

Vertical Datum: NAVD88
Accuracy:
RMSE = 16.1 cm
NSSDA = 1.03' (95% confidence level)
VMAS = 0.87' (90% confidence level)
