It depicts potential lake level rise and fall and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at lake level change, coastal flooding impacts, and exposed lakeshore. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The NOAA Lake Level Viewer may be accessed at: https://coast.noaa.gov/llv. This metadata record describes the Lake Michigan digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Lake Level Viewer described above. This DEM includes the best available lidar, US Army Corps of Engineer dredge surveys, and National Park Service multibeam data known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications. This DEM includes data for Allegan, Antrim, Benzie, Berrien, Charlevoix, Delta, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Mackinac, Manistee, Mason, Menominee, Muskegon, Oceana, Ottawa, Schoolcraft, and Van Buren counties in Michigan; Lake, La Porte, and Porter Counties in Indiana, Cook and Lake Counties in Illinois, and Brown, Door, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Marinette, Milwaukee, Oconto, Ozaukee, Racine, and Sheboygan Counties in Wisconsin. The DEM was produced from the following lidar data sets: 1. 2016 NOAA Topobathy Lidar: Upper Lake Michigan Islands 2. 2015 FEMA Marinette County 3. 2013 Indiana Statewide Lidar Collection: Lake, La Porte, Tippecanoe, Newton, Jasper and Porter County Buy-Up 4. 2013 Muskegon County, Michigan Lidar Co-Op 5. 2013 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan North (MI) 6. 2012 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (MI,WI) 7. 2012 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (IL,IN,MI,WI) 8. 2010 Brown County Lidar 9. 2008 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (IN) 10. 2008 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (WI) 11. 2008 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (IL) 12. 2008 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (MI) 13. 2007 USACE NCMP Topobathy BE Lidar: Lake Michigan (MI) and Lake Erie (PA) 14. 2007 ARRA Lidar: Lake County (IL) 15. 2006 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (IN), Lake Erie (OH,PA), Lake Huron (MI) The DEM was produced from the following sonar data sets: 16. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Port Washington Harbor, WI 17. 2015 USACE Detroit District, South Haven Harbor, MI 18. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Washington Island (Detroit Harbor), WI 19. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Washington Island (Jackson Harbor), WI 20. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Grand Haven Harbor, MI 21. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Pentwater Harbor, MI 22. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Pensaukee Harbor, WI 23. 2015 USACE Detroit District, St. Joseph Harbor, MI 24. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Manistee Harbor, MI 25. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Green Bay Harbor, WI 26. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Saugatuck Harbor, MI 27. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Oconto Harbor, WI 28. 2015 USACE Detroit District, White Lake Harbor, MI 29. 2015 USACE Detroit District, Manistique Harbor, MI 30. 2014 USACE Detroit District, Milwaukee Harbor, WI 31. 2014 USACE Detroit District, Frankfort Harbor, MI 32. 2014 USACE Detroit District, St. Joseph Harbor, MI 33. 2014 USACE Detroit District, Holland Harbor, MI 34. 2014 USACE Chicago District, Burns Waterway Harbor, IN 35. 2014 USACE Chicago District, Burns Small Boat Harbor, IN 36. 2014 USACE Chicago District, Michigan City, IN 37. 2014 USACE Chicago District, Waukegan Harbor, IL 38. 2014 USACE Chicago District, Calumet River, IL 39. 2014 USACE Detroit District, Menominee Harbor, MI/WI The DEM was produced from the following NPS multibeam sonar data sets: 40. 2011, National Park Service, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Multibeam Sonar 41. 2012, National Park Service, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Multibeam Sonar The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 3 meters. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management has developed high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for use in the Office's Lake Level Viewer internet mapping application. These DEMs serve as source datasets used to derive data to visualize the impacts of inundation and shore exposure resulting from lake level change along the coastal United States in the Great Lakes. Acknowledgment of the NOAA Office for Coastal Management as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment, as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source, is expected. completed NOAA Office for Coastal Management (843) 740-1202 2234 South Hobson Ave Charleston SC 29405-2413 coastal.info@noaa.gov https://coast.noaa.gov WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Office for Coastal Management Website NOAA Office for Coastal Management Home Page information pointOfContact NOAA Office for Coastal Management (843) 740-1202 2234 South Hobson Ave Charleston SC 29405-2413 coastal.info@noaa.gov https://coast.noaa.gov WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Office for Coastal Management Website NOAA Office for Coastal Management Home Page information custodian notPlanned EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL PROCESSES > FLOODING EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL PROCESSES > SEA LEVEL CHANGES EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY > TERRAIN ELEVATION > DIGITAL ELEVATION/TERRAIN MODEL (DEM) theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 23.3 CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > GREAT LAKES place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 23.3 Bathymetry/Topography DEM Digital Elevation Model elevation flooding inundation lidar sonar topography water levels theme Allegan County Antrim County Benzie County Berrien County Brown County Charlevoix County Cook County Delta County Door County Emmet County Great Lakes Illinois Indiana Kenosha County Kewaunee County La Porte County Lake County Lake Michigan Leelanau County Mackinac County Manistee County Manitowoc County Marinette County Mason County Menominee County Michigan Milwaukee County Muskegon County Oceana County Oconto County Ottawa County Ozaukee County Porter County Racine County Schoolcraft County Sheboygan County US Wisconsin place DOC/NOAA/NOS/OCM > Office of Coastal Management, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2026.

Resource download dataset Horizontal Positional Accuracy The DEM is derived from the source lidar and sonar data. Horizontal accuracy testing is not performed on the DEM. Lidar source data assumed to meet 1 meter horizontal accuracy. Vertical Positional Accuracy The DEM is derived from the source lidar and sonar data. Vertical accuracy is not tested on the DEM. Project specifications require all source lidar data used in constructing the DEM to meet FEMA Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping. Completeness Report A visual qualitative check was performed to ensure data completeness. All available lidar and sonar data known at the time of DEM creation that meets project specifications has been used to develop the DEM. Known data gaps may exist where lidar and sonar coverage was incomplete. Conceptual Consistency Data covers the tile scheme provided for the project area. Elevation data checked for anomalous elevation values outside expected range. The source elevation datasets listed above were identified, downloaded, edited, and finalized. 2017-01-01T00:00:00 Source elevation data and their associated hydro-breaklines, where available, were downloaded. Data were then reviewed and edited to meet the project's requirements. The major requirements were delineating data extent for topography and bathymetry; removing areas less than 0.01 square kilometers; creating separate terrain datasets for topography and bathymetry; converting to rasters; and mosaicing the topography and bathymetry together for the final product. NOAA's VDatum datum conversion tool was used to convert geoids. 2017-01-01T00:00:00
