Lab #6 Digital Elevation Models





These are digital elevation models of the Sawatch mountain range in Colorado. The range is home to many mountains and peaks. The two highest peaks are Mt. Elbert (14433 ft.) and Mt. Harvard (14153 ft.). As seen by the slope map, most of the range is of very steep slope or flat slope, with little area covering intermediate slopes. The 3-dimensional elevation model displays elevation in a way that is much easier to see. Different DEMs demonstrate different aspects of the land cover. The extent information for the maps is as followed: Left 106.692499998839, Top 39.6599999994514, Bottom 38.5452777771542, Right 106.171944443249. The geographic coordinate system used is the GCS North American 1983 coordinate system.
