Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)

DEMs are constructed from gridded elevation data derived from existing topographic maps in most cases, although they also can be constructed from stereo-photograph pairs. USGS has two general qualities of DEMs available: Those constructed from 1:250,000-scale maps and those constructed from 1:24,000-scale maps. Horizontal resolution is 130 m and 30 m, respectively.
