Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain topography and bathymetry with a horizontal resolution of 100 feet and vertical resolution of 1 integer foot

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-09-12T00:00:00Z
This digital elevation model (DEM) for the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain (NACP) from Long Island New York to northeastern North Carolina represents the elevation of the topographic and bathymetric surface at a uniform horizontal grid spacing of 100 feet and vertical units of 1 (integer) foot. The land-surface elevations are derived from U.S. Geological Survey 30-meter National Elevation Dataset (NED), and the bathymetric elevations are derived from 3 arc-second (90-meter-nominal) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) U.S. Coastal Relief Model (CRM). Horizontal coordinates are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and vertical measurements are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The DEM projection is NAD_1983_Albers with linear units of US feet, a central meridian of -75.5, standard parallels of 34.5 and 41.5, and a latitude of origin of 32.
