LiDAR-Derived Tiled DEM (Hillshade) [Milwaukee County, Wisconsin] {2020 }
Description
This data represents a LiDAR-derived tiled Digital Elevation Model (DEM) (Hillshade) for Milwaukee County, Wisconsin in 2020. A DEM represents the bare-Earth surface, removing all natural and built features. Hillshading is a technique used to visualize terrain as shaded relief, illuminating it with a hypothetical light source. The illumination value for each raster cell is determined by its orientation to the light source, which is based on slope and aspect.
