Image service displaying Slope for LiDAR-derived DEMs (expressed as Percent Rise) for all counties in Wisconsin and along the shore of Lake Michigan, last updated May 7, 2023. A Slope Raster Function was applied to the Referenced Mosaic Dataset used to publish this service, with the Slope function Output Measurement set to PERCENT RISE, and a Z factor of 1.
A Slope Raster Function was applied to the Referenced Mosaic Dataset used to publish this service, with the Slope function Output Measurement set to DEGREE, and a Z factor of 1. The data sources are county-produced LiDAR with a range of flight years and DEM resolution, along with topobathy data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Counties with 3-Meter resolution DEMs: Waupaca (2005). Counties with 2-meter resolution DEMs: Fond du Lac (2011) and Green Lake (2009)

Counties with 1-foot resolution DEM: Bayfield (2022), Brown (2021), Burnett (2022), Douglas (2022), Jackson (2022), Milwaukee (2020), Oneida and Vilas outside of the Lac du Flambeau Reservation (2022), and Wood (2022). Tobobathy data along the Lake Michigan shoreline (2020). Some gaps or data holidays exist in the topobathy data coverage due to a number of operational and environmental conditions.
