High Resolution Topography

Airborne LiDAR covering Pahrump, NV, and surrounding regions, including parts of Stewart Valley and Pahrump Valley. Collected in 2010 for the EPA and Nye County, Nevada. Point cloud data is no longer recoverable from the EPA, but original DEM tiles in ESRI GRID format were obtained and merged into a single data set. Coverage is incomplete over the dataset area. https://doi.org/10.5069/G94T6GJP

Structure-from-Motion digital surface model (DSM) produced by photogrammetry of legacy (circa 1970, 1979) single-frame aerial photographs using AgiSoft Metashape. DSM is geo-registered to the Utah AGRC 5-m auto-correlated DEM product. Nominal resolution is 0.7 m. Data set covers a diffuse set of fault scarps east of the Drum Mountains, Millard County, UT. https://doi.org/10.5069/G9125QT8
