Lidar Maps



A Lidar Map image uses light detection and ranging to collect topographic data. This map is a map of Kiawah Island, South Carolina. This map represents a Lidar Map because it shows different surfaces of the earth on the island. The color bar is used to highlight relatively narrow variations in elevation.
