The Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) is pleased to announce the release of about 17,942 square miles of recently acquired, high resolution lidar data over 26 counties in south central Texas. Aerial collection took place during the 2018 leaf-off season in Texas.

The project was funded by a federal consortium of partners to support the 3DEP mission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning(MAP) program and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) high resolution elevation enterprise program

Further details regarding this acquisition can be found by downloading the Project Report(s) found in the data catalog entry.

@christoball the caption circle in the image need to change from "3D Lidar Point cloud" to "Bare Earth Digital Elevation Model"

Other than that, looks great.

christoball commented 4 years ago

@ThorTheDestroyer I've gone ahead and made that change, will initiate the move to publish
