Lab 4: Working with DEMs

This lab seeks to display the differences between maps of different resolutions: 5-m, 10-m, and 30-m. The area of interest is located near Alta, Snowbird, and Solitude ski resorts, just East of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Part 1

Part 2

In the three maps below, contour lines are used to show elevation. The maps are focused on a very small extent in order to show the small differences between each map. The differences are especially clear along the drainage lines of Kimball Creek. The contour lines near this drainage differ slightly among maps due to the different resolutions of data used.
