These data were collected by Leading Edge Geomatics using a Leica Chiroptera II Bathymetric & Topographic Sensor. The project consists of approximately 205 square miles of data along the shores of the Beaver Island Archipelago and South Manitou Islands in Upper Lake Michigan. The data were acquired between November 16, 2015 through December 5, 2015 for Beaver Island, North Fox Island, Gull Island, High Island, Garden Island, and Isle Aux Galets. The data for South Manitou Island, South Fox Island and several smaller islands that needed to be re-acquired on Beaver Island due to data gaps, were acquired on June 2, 2016 and June 3, 2016. The data includes topobathy data classified as: created, never classified (0), unclassified (1), ground (2), bathymetric bottom (40), water surface (41), derived water surface (42), no bottom found (45) in accordance with project specifications. This dataset contains 3,361 500 m x 500 m lidar tiles. In addition to the lidar point data, bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) at a 2 meter grid size are available.
