[Fit-elevation] Near complete bare-earth lidar data for Oregon!

[BURGETTE Reed * DGMI]

Hi all,

The Oregon Lidar Consortium's bare-earth lidar mosaic now covers approximately 99% of Oregon! This major milestone (see graphic below) represents the support of many partners through the Oregon Lidar Consortium and projects led by other agencies. We have completed an update of our bare-earth mosaic that incorporates recently released USGS 3DEP data from central and eastern Oregon. The mosaic can be visualized as a hillshade or slope model in our lidar viewer: https://gis.dogami.oregon.gov/maps/lidarviewer/.

The 3 foot-resolution raster mosaics can be easily streamed into ArcGIS Pro (except for users with v. 3.6 for now...), and we are working on a tiled version of the mosaic that will be more functional for users of other software soon. The REST endpoints for our service layers are here: https://gis.dogami.oregon.gov/arcgis/rest/services/lidar. More information about individual lidar projects are available through updated lidar status files via the viewer or from links on our website: https://www.oregon.gov/dogami/lidar/Pages/index.aspx.

Upcoming elevation updates from the OLC and DOGAMI will migrate our services to modern GIS server formats, build out the highest-hit and canopy mosaics across the state, provide further guidance about interacting with the streaming mosaic datasets, and leverage the repeated data collections in many areas to measure landscape change.

We encourage you to check out the near seamless elevation dataset for Oregon! Please get in touch with questions, data requests, feedback, or project ideas!

Best regards,
Reed
