Description

This map of Southern New Jersey is a major upgrade from the original 2018 LIDAR in the Pines HD where colorful shading is used to accent features of the flat coastal terrain that are not usually visible on other maps. This new map includes full 1-meter LIDAR coverage for all of Southern New Jersey using 2015 USGS DEM data for Camden, Gloucester and Burlington Counties with 2019 DEM for Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem Counties from the State of New Jersey.
