Summary
This is a collection of 3 ft resolution digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging (lidar). Lidar was collected in 2002, 2008, 2013, and 2018. Coverage includes a portion of Clarksburg, Maryland, focused around the Clarksburg Special Protection Area (CSPA). Overall extent varies between each dataset, but all digital elevation models are aligned together with consistent overlap over the study area watersheds.
Summary

Coverage includes a portion of Clarksburg, Maryland, focused around the Clarksburg Special Protection Area (CSPA). Overall extent varies between each dataset, but all digital elevation models are aligned together with consistent overlap over the study area watersheds.
The data were collected to monitor land use change associated with urban development in the CSPA. The data can be used to evaluate ground elevation at the time of data collection in the years 2002, 2008, 2013, 2018.
