The features were compiled from aerial imagery captured in the spring of 2014 to assist with stormwater fee computations. The work is part of the 2013 Northern Colorado Geospatial Consortium contract through which Ayres provided an array of customized… Read More »

Digital terrain modeling derived from lidar with hydro-flattened break lines supported the creation of 2-foot interval contours. Although the County was originally seeking to collect only lidar, the Land Information Office felt this was an excellent opportunity to collect… Read More »
