Summary

The dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM), in GeoTiff format, of the bathymetry of Gillham Lake, Sevier County, Arkansas. The extent of the DEM represents the area encompassing the extent of the aerial Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data used in the project. Horizontal and vertical units are expressed in meters. The DEM was derived from an LAS dataset (an industry-standard binary format for storing aerial LiDAR data) created from point datasets stored in “Gillham2018_gdb”. The point datasets include aerial LiDAR data from a survey conducted in 2016 by the National Resources Conservation Service (U.S. Geological Survey, 2017), point data from digitized historical topographic maps, and bathymetric data from a survey conducted [...]

Purpose

Bathymetric data were collected and merged with aerial LiDAR data to update bathymetric maps and storage capacity of the lake. This bathymetric map in horizontal and vertical units of meters is intended to be used as a foundation for interpretive work, and is provided in GeoTiff format to facilitate compatibility with numerous softwares.
