The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) utilized for this Willamette FIS submittal was produced by combining multiple overlapping topographic surveys for the Middle Fork and Coast Fork of the Willamette River. The DEM was created from four sources: LIDAR of the Springfield area that was flown in 2008, LIDAR of Silk Creek that was flown in 2011, LIDAR of Fall Creek that was flown in 2012, and photogrammetry of the Middle Fork and Coast Fork of the Willamette River that was flown in 2004. In areas where no high-resolution elevation data were available, USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) data were used to supplement the DEM. This feature represents the areas NED information is presented. The horizontal datum of the DEM is NAD 1983 State Plane-Oregon South HARN with units of International Feet (NAD83). The vertical datum of the elevation model is NAVD 1988 with units of international feet (NAVD-88). The lower resolution elevation data means that there is less confidence in the flooded area polygon and water depth for a particular water surface elevation.
