Devils River Lidar, Orthophoto, Sonar, and GPR Data from Juno to Lake Amistad

Geospatial data collected in and along the Devils River from Juno to Lake Amistad, Texas includes topographic and bathymetric lidar, orthophotos, sonar, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data. The dataset was authored by John Andrews and harvested by the Texas Data Repository. The record was last updated on March 18, 2024.

Use Cases

• Modeling riverbed topography and bathymetry based on the 1m lidar raster and point cloud data.
• Creating high-resolution base maps for environmental studies using the provided orthophotos.
• Analyzing subsurface features in a detailed study pool using the composite lidar and GPR raster dataset.
• Mapping the spatial extent of available data layers for project planning using the provided index map (SHP).

Strengths

• Includes multiple complementary data types: lidar, orthophotos, sonar, and GPR.
• Provides a focused, detailed composite dataset for a two-kilometer study pool from Finnegan Springs to Dolan Falls.
• Data is available in both raster (BIL, geoTiff) and point (LAS) formats for flexibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The total spatial area, file size, and specific temporal coverage are not detailed in the provided metadata.
