Steep Slope 10 ft

<p><strong>Overview</strong></p><p>This Feature Service provides detailed geographic information on steep slope areas within the state of Connecticut. This layer was derived from the 2023 Digital Elevation Model from the <a target='_blank' href='https://maps.cteco.uconn.edu/data/flight2023/' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>2023 Spring imagery and lidar capture</a>. It is developed to support planning, environmental management, and risk assessment related to slope stability.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Details about layer development: <a target='_blank' href='https://github.com/ctgisoffice/steep_slopes' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://github.com/ctgisoffice/steep_slopes</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Feature Layers</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Steep Slope 10 ft</strong>: This layer maps areas with steep slopes derived from a 10-feet per pixel DEM, providing details such as slope percentage, municipality, and council of governments (COG) region.
