The Area of Interest - Norman's Cay, Exumas, Bahamas

Norman’s Cay is located in the Exuma Islands and is southeast of Nassau. The Exumas are an island chain in the Bahamas made up of over 360 islands; the largest city in the Exumas is George Town which was founded in 1793 and is located in close proximity to the Tropic of Cancer. The island chain is 130 mi long and covers approximately 27 square miles. The Government of The Bahamas has created the Exuma National Land and Sea Park over a large majority of the Exumas protecting fragile coral reefs, blue holes, caves and extensive marine and land wildlife – including the last known refuge of the giant Bahamian iguana. In fact, there is a 6,000-foot drop off, known as the Exuma Sound, which is home to teeming giant marlin, sailfish and wahoo populations.

Geospatial Freebie(s) of the Month – Louisiana and Texas Elevation Data

High-quality elevation data is an important input for many geospatial projects but locating free sources of this information can be challenging especially when you need resolution that exceeds the 30-meter and 90-meter free SRTM DEM resolutions. For this Freebie of the Month, we have found several sources of elevation data in key oil and gas basins that we would like to share with you.

The first is the LSU Atlas LIDAR Downloader which contains a near complete LiDAR dataset for the state of Louisiana. Various formats are offered on this site including a finished DEM and contour layer; raw and edited LiDAR points; and breakline details.

Click here to download Louisiana LiDAR data from Atlas.

The second is the Texas Natural Resources Information System which has 5-meter and 10-meter DEMs for a large portion of the state. LiDAR data can also be purchased for the reasonable cost of $250 per county.
