Kentucky Phase1 Digital Elevation Model (Image Service)

This Dynamic Image Service provides access to a seamless 5-Foot Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for all of Kentucky. This elevation data was acquired through the <a href='https://kyfromabove.ky.gov' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>KyFromAbove</a> Aerial Photography and Elevation Data Program which began in 2012. Complete statewide coverage was achieved in 2017 and Phase2 acquisitions are now underway. <div><br /></div><div>The DEM was derived from the ground class within KyFromAbove point cloud data and has a 5-foot point spacing. Kentucky's DEM data <a href='https://kygeonet.ky.gov/kyfromabove/pdfs/Specs_LiDAR_Production.pdf' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>specifications</a> were developed by the KyFromAbove Technical Advisory Subcommittee and adopted by the Kentucky Geographic Information Advisory Council (GIAC). More information regarding this data resource can be found on the <a href='https://kygeoportal.ky.gov/geoportal/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BE9F81919-48DD-48B0-801B-346A078972C8%7D' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>KyGeoPortal</a> and the <a href='https://kyfromabove.ky.gov/' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>KyFromAbove</a> webpage.<div><br /></div><div>Special thanks to the many KyFromAbove Program Contributors.</div></div>
