About this Dataset

2023 Connecticut 5' Contours (beta)

Source:

1 foot contours were generated for each production block from the final bare earth DEMs using ArcGIS software. Using ArcGIS software, the contours were validated for correct topology, including must not intersect, must not self intersect, and must not have dangles. Contours are then manually reviewed with the 3D breaklines to ensure complete coverage, correct coding, data integrity and that contours behave correctly around water bodies, water crossings, and elevated features such as overpasses. The contours are then clipped to individual tiles as creating one dataset for the entire project renders the feature class un-usable. Enclosed contours completely within building footprints were removed from the final contour dataset.

Coordinate System:

The data was developed based on a horizontal datum/projection of NAD83 (2011), State Plane Connecticut, U.S. Survey Feet and vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID18)

Use Constraints:

There are no formal use restrictions. However, users should be aware the conditions may have changed since the data was originally collected, and some areas may no longer accurately reflect current surface features. This data should not be used for critical decision-making without a full understanding of their limitations.
