Ridgelines: Department of Interior Definition
This dataset represents ridgelines as defined by the Department of Interior (DOI): "Areas within 660 feet of the top of the ridgeline, where a ridgeline has at least 150 feet of vertical elevation gain with a minimum average slope of 10 percent between the ridgeline and the base." The dataset was created using the Geomorphons package from the University of Guelph, which can be found here: Geomorphons Package, and the 3DEP 1/3 arc-second digital elevation model. A TIF data file and a PNG map of the data are provided.

"description": "In this, the 2023 edition of this report, we present new estimates of the technical potential for land-based wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) for the contiguous United States (CONUS). We also provide cost estimates for the available resources, presenting representative supply curves that can be used in downstream modeling and analysis. Additionally, we introduce new methodologies used to estimate wind capacity, wind energy losses, transmission cost and representation, updated technology cost and design, and scenarios of siting constraints designed to help bound the uncertainty of renewable potential."
