This data represents a Lidar-derived countywide 30-cm Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Buffalo County, Wisconsin in 2023. This dataset is in WTM coordinates, EPSG 3071 with elevation in meters. A DEM represents the bare-Earth surface, removing all natural and built features.
This Lidar data dataset was created by the WisconsinView Partners (WVP) – the WI Department of Administration’s Geographic Information Office in collaboration with the UW-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center’s (SSEC) WisconsinView repository. Original Lidar data in tiled format from federal or local county/city Lidar projects were used to create countywide mosaics of datasets such as DEMS, Intensity images, and DSMs in various projections and coordinate systems.
