Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging Topographic Data at a Recreation Site Upstream from Blue Mountain Lake, Arkansas, March 2020

Topographic data were collected at Hise Hill Recreation Center on the Petit Jean River about 2 miles upstream from Blue Mountain Lake on March 3, 2020, using terrestrial light detection and ranging (T-lidar), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and conventional surveying techniques. These data are high-resolution topography in laser scan format, collected using a tripod mounted T-lidar at multiple scan setups. Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the T-lidar equipment. Computer software was used to process the raw data, align the various scans in reference to one another, classify the data, and extract the topography data in a useable format. The data were saved with Red, Green, Blue color and classification in LAS format (8.5 million points).
