Elevation Layers

An imaginary line that connects points of equal height value eg the elevation of the land surface above or below a vertical datum, in this case of LINZ topographic mapping, this is Mean Sea Level.

This layer is a component of the Topo50 map series. The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland, Chatham and New Zealand's offshore islands, at 1:50,000 scale.

This layer contains the index tiles for LiDAR data from the Waikato west coast and Hauraki Plains captured in 2015.
The DEM is available as layer Waikato - West Coast and Hauraki Plains LiDAR 1m DEM (2015).
The DSM is available as layer Waikato - West Coast and Hauraki Plains LiDAR 1m DSM (2015).
The LAS point cloud and vendor project reports are available from OpenTopography.

Lidar was captured for Waikato Regional Council by Aerial Surveys in February and March 2015. The datasets were generated by Aerial Surveys and their subcontractors. Data management and distribution is by Land Information New Zealand.
