Title
MNDNR Bluff GIS Determination Tool [Minnesota]
Description
The Bluff GIS Determination Tool is an ArcGIS script that determines if a bluff is present, locates the toe and top of bluff on a map, creates a plot of elevation vs. distance, and produces an Excel spreadsheet showing the data analysis. There are two versions of the tool, one for determining a shoreland bluff (consistent with the shoreland rule bluff definition) and one for determining a Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area bluff (consistent with the MRCCA rule bluff definition). Technical Requirements The user will need the following to run this tool: System Requirements: - ArcGIS Pro - Spatial Analyst Input Data Requirements: - DEM (You can download 1-meter and 3-meter DEMs from MnTOPO: http://arcgis.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/mntopo ) For step-by-step instructions on how to use the tool, please view <a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/apps/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/bluff_gis_determination_tool/Bluff GIS Determination Tool Guide.pptx' target=_blank>Bluff GIS Determination Tool Guide.pptx</a>
