This data represents a LiDAR-derived bare-Earth Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Portage County, Wisconsin in 2016. This dataset is in WTM coordinates (EPSG 3071). 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.
