Topographic Compare Tool provides visual look at Contour products

LiDAR derived contours vs KGIS's Traditional contour product

The KGIS Staff has created a web-based Topographic Contour Comparison Tool that will provide departments with a visual look at the different types, and vintages, of contour products being considered as a replacement and/or update to KGIS's aging Topographic Map. (now approaching 8 years old for the western half of Knox County). LiDAR data is a key ingredient to the Landbase Update program of KGIS, having been used for both the 2003 topographic map update (by Merrick) and the 2007-2010 update (by Sanborn).

Therefore, considering the high level of "leaf-on" conditions, which adversely affect the accuracy of the end product, KGIS has called for a suspension to the project.
