This data represents a LiDAR-derived countywide 2-ft first-return Digital Surface Model (DSM) for Dodge County, Wisconsin in 2017. This dataset is in WCCS coordinates (WKID custom) with elevation in feet. A Digital Surface Model captures both the natural and built/artificial features of the environment.
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.
