Quality assurance data to evaluate the vertical accuracy of the bathymetric data for Sugar Creek Lake near Moberly, Missouri, 2018
Sugar Creek Lake is located approximately 4 miles northwest of Moberly, Missouri, in Randolph County, and has a full-pool surface area of approximately 330 acres. The lake primarily is used for recreation and drinking-water supply for the town of Moberly, Missouri. An earthen dam approximately 38-feet high and 1,125-feet long was constructed across the Sugar Creek valley in 1922. The elevation of the top of the dam is approximately 754 feet, with a 90-feet wide concrete spillway located near the right bank (west end) at an elevation of 746.8 feet. A previous bathymetric survey was completed in 2003. In cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Geological Survey resurveyed the bathymetry of the lake in September 2018 to provide data to update the area-capacity table and to compare the current bathymetric surface with the previous bathymetric surface.
Bathymetric quality-assurance data were collected to evaluate the vertical accuracy of the gridded bathymetric point data.
