UAS-borne Lidar 0.5m DTM for parts of Vicksburg National Military Park - December 2022

May 16, 2024

In December 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) flew uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) to collect very high-resolution imagery and lidar data of Vicksburg National Military Park to address areas of substantial landslide hazard within the park. The fine spatial resolution and high accuracy of this data are needed to fully characterize and quantify landslides and to understand the potential for continued landslide activity in other areas of the park. UAS flights were conducted by the USGS National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO). This data release publishes the 0.5m DTM created from the UAS-borne lidar data collected in December 2022.
