Faunce, K.E., and Rapp, J.L., 2020, Topobathymetric Digital Elevation Model (TBDEM) of the Eastern Shore Peninsula of Virginia and adjacent parts of Maryland with a horizontal resolution of 1 meter and vertical resolution of 1 centimeter: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9F5CV1Y.

Summary

This topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) represents the topography and bathymetry for the Eastern Shore peninsula of Virginia, including Accomack and Northampton counties, and extending into Worcester and Somerset counties in Maryland. The TBDEM has a horizontal grid spacing of 1 meter and vertical units of 1 (integer) centimeter. This dataset combines U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Coastal National Elevation Database topobathymetric DEM (CoNED TBDEM) data with data from the USGS Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain DEM, the latter of which were used to extend the bathymetric surface further offshore. In some areas, National Map 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data were used to [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset was to provide topographic and bathymetric elevations to define the top of the groundwater system and to inform well-head elevation and stream and tidal analysis in a groundwater flow model of Virginia's Eastern Shore. This dataset may be useful for other applications requiring a continuous elevation model over the onshore and offshore extent of the Eastern Shore peninsula.
