2021 Contour Data: Douglas County, Kansas

Data Description: Douglas County provided 2021 LiDAR Bare Earth images to uR Solutions to process contours. Images were combined into 4 square based areas covering the county. 2' contours lines were generated using ArcGIS Pro v2.8.1 for each of the 4 areas. Small unnecessary lines (less than 50' in length) were removed. Lines were minimally smoothed to maintain accuracy and eliminate angled direction changes. A field named Elevation contains a numeric value representing feet. A field named Line_Type was added and 10' contour intervals were populated with 'Index', all other lines with 'Intermediate'. The 4 areas were merged together into a countywide Contour layer. Subsequent elevation processing work was done by the City of Lawrence, KS to Z-enable the features for easier 3D visualization.
