The dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM) of the bathymetry of Norfork Lake, Arkansas-Missouri, below a pool elevation of 580 ft above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The DEM was derived from a terrain (digital terrain model, or DTM) created from a feature dataset of point (XYZ) data collected during an aerial LiDAR survey conducted in March, 2008, and a bathymetric survey conducted in September-October, 2015.
