This map of Alaska shows geographic extent of the first-ever nationally consistent hydrography data acquired from high-resolution 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data. FY24 projects are the result of ongoing Federal coordination via the 3DHP Working Group and the Alaska Mapping Initiative.

Explanation

This map of the United States and its territories shows geographic extent of completion of the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution elevation data - both bare earth and 3D point clouds.

This is a close-up of a 1:100,000-scale topographic map (100K Topo) of the Arizona National Scenic Trail (AZ NST) from the Kaibab Plateau at top to the Grand Canyon North Rim at bottom. The AZ NST is highlighted in red. This map shows contour lines, hydrography, landform names, land cover, federal lands, roads, and structures. 

This is a 1:2,000,000-scale map of Arizona with the entire Arizona National Scenic Trail shown in red. The basemap is the USGS Topo basemap taken from USGS The National Map.

The 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) is a vision for an integrated 3D model of elevation and hydrography data that will support environmental, climate change, and infrastructure applications. It responds to changing U.S. policy and will support Federal, State, local, and other stakeholder needs.

This map of the United States and its territories shows the areal extent and quality level of planned, in-progress, and existing publicly available lidar (IfSAR in Alaska) data identified by the United States Interagency Elevation Inventory (USIEI) that meet 3DEP base level specification planned to be under award by September 30, 2023. 3DEP base level spec
