This is a Raster data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Planar coordinates are encoded using row and column
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 1.000000
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 1.000000
Planar coordinates are specified in meters
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Coordinates defining the features.
The U. S. Geological Survey Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies would like to acknowledge NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for their cooperation and assistance in the development of the data. The National Park Service also contributed by editing the lidar tiles to remove processing artifacts.
