UAS Whiskeytown

July 31, 2024

Raw aerial photography, orthorectified imagery, point cloud data, and digital elevation models (DEMs) for Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (NRA) following the Carr Fire. Sites within the NRA include: Lower Crystal Creek, Tower House, Grizzly Gulch, Boulder Creek South Shore and Conifer, Brandy Creek Camp, Shasta Divide, Paige Bar (North, NEED Camp, East, and Southeast), Chinese Laundry, and Coggins Park. Imagery was collected with two sensors (Ricoh GR II and MicaSense RedEdge) on a quadcopter flown at 400 feet above ground level immediately following the Carr Fire (October 2018) and 8-9 months after the fire (May and June 2019). Due to access, not all sites were flown during both collection periods. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center UAS data is available from Earth Explorer.
