    2020 LiDAR - Digital Surface Model

    Metadata Updated: May 7, 2025

    Digital Surface Model - 1m resolution. The dataset contains the 1m Digital Surface Model for the District of Columbia. Some areas have limited data. The lidar dataset redaction was conducted under the guidance of the United States Secret Service. Except for classified ground points and classified water points, all lidar data returns and collected data were removed from the dataset within the United States Secret Service 1m redaction boundary generated for the 2017 orthophoto flight. This dataset provided as an ArcGIS Image service. Please note, the download feature for this image service in Open Data DC provides a compressed PNG, JPEG or TIFF. The compressed GeoTIFF mosaic raster dataset is available under additional options when viewing downloads. Requests for the individual GeoTIFF set of images should be sent to open.data@dc.gov.
