Summary

This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, lidar-derived imagery of the Beckley 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky. The source data used to construct this imagery consists of 1-meter resolution lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2020 and 2022. The data were processed using geographic information systems (GIS) software. The data is projected in WGS 1984 Web Mercator. This representation illustrates the terrain as a hillshade with contrast adjusted to highlight local relief according to a topographic position index (TPI) calculation.

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset was to create base map imagery to assist with geologic mapping and hydrologic studies. This imagery can be used for multiple purposes and can be offered on a web mapping service that can be easily accessed. Creation of this imagery was supported by the U.S. Geological Survey: U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program.
