New Jersey Statewide LiDAR
Elevation datasets in New Jersey have been collected over several years as several discrete projects. Each project covers a geographic area, which is a subsection of the entire state, and has differing specifications based on the available technology at the time and project budget. The geographic extent of one project may overlap that of a neighboring project. Each of the 18 projects contains deliverable products such as LAS (Lidar point cloud) files, unclassified/classified, tiled to cover proj

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Floodplain model topography from LAS ground points for FRA hydraulic modelling · Terrain and contour baseline for earthworks and civils design in New Jersey · DEM inputs for drainage strategy surface and catchment analysis
- Audience llm-inferred
- flood consultants · hydrologists · drainage engineers · civils engineers · GIS analysts
Limitations
- Constraints docs-verified
- Eighteen projects with differing specifications, technology and dates, so no single consistent statewide spec · Project extents can overlap neighbouring projects · No update schedule · No accuracy guarantee; fitness for use is the user's responsibility
