Utah FORGE: Area 0.5 m LiDAR Data

During the Fall of 2016 AGRC and the Utah Geological Survey acquired ~205 square miles of 8 points per meter Quality Level 1 LiDAR of The Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) area around Milford, Utah in Beaver and Millard Counties in western Utah. The 0.5 meter resolution bare earth DEMs and first-return/highest-hit DSMs in .img format have a 10.0cm vertical RMSE accuracy and are available for download. The LAS classified point clouds are also available by request Rick Kelson from AGRC at RKelson@utah.gov or The National Map. This elevation data was collected between October 26 and November 3, 2016 and has a UTM NAD83 (2011) zone 12 north meter NAVD88(GEOID12) projection.
