Devils River Lidar and Bathymetric Data from Juno to Lake Amistad, Texas

Multiple remote sensing data types collected in and along the Devils River in Texas include topographic and bathymetric lidar, orthophotos, sonar, and ground-penetrating radar. The dataset, harvested by the Texas Data Repository, was last updated on March 18, 2024. It provides a detailed composite raster for a two-kilometer study pool from Finnegan Springs to Dolan Falls.

Use Cases

• Modeling riverbed topography and bathymetry based on the provided lidar and sonar data.
• Creating high-resolution orthophoto maps for land cover analysis along the river corridor.
• Analyzing subsurface geological structures using the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) point data.
• Conducting detailed habitat or geomorphological studies within the focused two-kilometer pool area.

Strengths

• Includes multiple complementary data types: lidar, orthophotos, sonar, and GPR.
• Provides a focused, detailed composite dataset for a specific two-kilometer river section.
• Data is available in both raster (BIL, GeoTIFF) and point cloud (LAS) formats for flexibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
