Description:

Abstract:

This raster spatial layer is a 30-meter slope derivative of the 'Filled_Dem' Digital Elevation Model for the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma. The slope of the land surface is expressed degrees.

Purpose:

This layer identifies the maximum slope in degrees from each cell to neighboring cells.
