Abert, Curtis C. 1995 20060926 raster digital data ISGS GIS Database GISDB.IL_DEM_301FT_RAS Champaign, Illinois, USA Illinois State Geological Survey http://www.isgs.illinois.edu/ http://illinois.edu This raster dataset consists of edge-matched USGS 1:250,000 DEM tiles for Illinois. Cell size is 301 feet and cell values are elevations in meters above mean sea level rounded to the nearest integer. The data include all of Illinois and extend approximately nine miles beyond the state boundary. Some elevation data at the edges of individual DEM tiles were smoothed to remove edge-matching faults. These data were assembled to provide a statewide database of surface elevation points suitable for analyses of statewide geologic phenomena associated with elevation. The data have been used to generate slope data and shaded relief images, and are appropriate for other such regional applications. These data are appropriate for use in local and regional elevation analysis. The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base. The data set can serve as an important base cartographic and analytical element for many types of maps. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed elevations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. This dataset was transferred to storage in ArcSDE on 20060926. This edition is designated 20060926. The previous edition (1.0) was an ArcInfo grid called allst-int. 1995 Date of additional ISGS processing to USGS data.

Contact the USGS for attribute accuracy of the source DEM data. Some elevation data at the edges of individual DEM tiles were smoothed for edge-matching purposes. Not applicable to grids. USGS 3 arc-second DEMs projected into Lambert Conformal Conic projection were resampled to an approximate 301 foot cell size. Assumed to be as accurate as USGS 3 arc-second DEMs. United States Geological Survey unknown model USGS DEMs All tiles necessary to provide complete coverage of Illinois, including a 9 mile buffer unknown USGS 250000 digital files 1967 publication date none elevation grid cells The ultimate source of the data used to create this data set are United States Geological Survey 1:250,000 3-arc-second Digital Elevation Model Data (DEMs). All or parts of 29 DEM tiles are needed for contiguous coverage of Illinois. The individual DEMs were converted to ARC/INFO lattices (with the ARC LATTICEMERGE command), projected (PROJECT), and clipped to an area of at least 9 miles beyond the state boundary (LATTICECLIP), and stored as an Arc/Info grid. 1995 This dataset was transferred to storage in ArcSDE on 20060926.
