Topobathy Footprint of the Upper Mississippi River System
Separate elevation for floodplain and riverbed topography were acquired over a range of years on the Upper Mississippi River System by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program. These data were combined into a seamless elevation surface, or topobathy dataset and released in 2016. While topobathy datasets exist for each UMRS pool, this topobathy “footprint” serves as a quick reference tool to the location, extent, and metadata associated with each pool’s lidar and bathymetry coverage. Additionally, areas of missing coverage, or “no data” are included so that the user may quickly determine areas of interpolation or where new data is needed.
