Dauphin Island, Alabama

Detailed Description

Dauphin Island, Alabama. Three-dimensional views of island topography (A-C), post-Katrina oblique aerial photograph (D), and differences in topography from Hurricanes Ivan (E) and Katrina (F). The view is along the island, looking from east to west, with the Gulf of Mexico to the left and Mississippi Sound to the right. Lidar elevation images (A-C) show elevations above mean high water. The rounded appearance of houses is an artifact of the spatial resolution of the data and the gridding process.
