Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Newark 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-Derived Elevation Models at 3-Meter Resolution

December 7, 2021

This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, lidar-derived imagery of the Newark 30 x 60 minute quadrangle. It covers portions of New Jersey and New York, including parts of the Delaware River Basin. The source data used to construct this imagery consist of 1-meter, 2-meter, and 3-meter resolution lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEM). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2013 and 2021 from various sources. The data were processed using geographic information systems (GIS) software. The data are projected in North America Datum (NAD) UTM Zone 18 North. This representation illustrates the terrain as a hillshade with contrast adjusted to highlight local relief according to a topographic position index (TPI) calculation.
