Snap Raster used to create interpolated digital elevation models (DEMs) in the nearshore around Ship, Horn, and Petit Bois Islands, Mississippi: 1916 to 1920, 2008 to 2009 and 2016
To characterize coastal change, historical maps and complementary records were compiled including: topographic sheets (T-sheets), hydrographic sheets (H-sheets, smooth sheets), shorelines, and bathymetric soundings surrounding the Mississippi (MS) barrier islands over several time periods (1916-1920, 2008-2009 and 2016). One goal of this work was to create a time-series of bathymetric change maps around the islands. This USGS data release includes three digital elevation models (DEMs) for 1916 to 1920, 2008 to 2009, and 2016; however, this metadata file pertains to the snap raster (MS2016_snapraster_50m.tif) used to define pixel locations during raster DEM creation. This work was completed in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Mobile, Alabama) and the National Park Service as part of the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP).
