When should I construct a profile? In introductory geoscience courses, a profile is appropriate when you are asked to construct a cross-section or profile. For topographic profiles, you must extrapolate the contour of the landscape (that is, whether it goes up or down) when faced with repeating elevation contours. In the case of constructing a topographic map, you must extrapolate the placement of the appropriate elevation contour. This is different from the plotting of a best fit line because it involves extrapolation of information from spatial data. In such instances, you will be asked to plot some points and connect them with a smooth line. When working data with topographic maps, topographic profiles and their construction, we often ask you to connect data points with a smooth curve. There are other instances in mathematics and graphing where a smooth curve is necessary (e.g., exponential curves, sine waves, etc.) this page is focused on a specific instance when you will construct a topographic profile from a two dimensional map. This page is geared toward thinking about the shape of landscapes and pretty unique to geoscience courses. If you aren't sure how to plot points on a graph, please make sure you visit and work through the plotting points tutorial before moving on with this part of the graphing pages. Other parts of this resource on graphing take you through plotting points and constructing a straight line through data points.

Data are offered as originally deliver LAS tile or as the derivative product of DEM/DTM or DSM. Data have been acquired using Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) technology, in compliance with different contract specifications.

ILHMP has established data sharing agreements to archive and distribute elevation data for select Illinois counties. A comparison between older data and newer high-resolution data shows remarkable improvement in recorded detail. DEM data collections are now being developed based on data with a contour resolution of 2 feet to 6 inches. Large-scale, digital topographic maps are most common many data resources contain elevation information acquired in the 1920s and 1930s. Historically, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for Illinois have been mainly based on 5- to 10-foot contour data. The Viewer allows users to zoom into an area of interest and then simply select LAS tiles to download. ***New**** Download LiDAR Data thru our new Web Application Viewer.
