Elevation Data from Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, Colorado, 2020 (ver 2.0, May 2021)
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities, has been collecting topographic data annually since 2012 at 10 study areas along Fountain Creek, Colorado. The 10 study areas are located along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River in Pueblo. This data release presents topographic survey data, Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) survey data, and elevation rasters collected or generated during 2020 as part of that monitoring effort. Topographic survey points were collected using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK-GNSS). These point data, along with lidar point clouds, were used to generate 2020 digital elevation maps. These survey data and maps provide an annual assessment of the geomorphic changes at each study area.
This data release was revised in 2021 with the addition of folder "Elevation_Change_Rasters_2020.zip." Included in this folder are elevation-change rasters generated from 2015 and 2020 digital elevation maps for each of the 10 study areas.
First posted - December 16, 2020 (available from author).
Revised – May XX, 2021 (version 2.0).
