Separate data for floodplain elevation and bathymetry were collected on the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program. While many information needs can be met by using these data separately, in many cases seamless elevation data across the river and its floodplain are needed. This seamless elevation surface was generated by merging lidar (i.e., floodplain elevation) and bathymetry data. Merging the data required special processing in the areas of transition between the two sources of data.

The U.S. Geological Survey's Upper MidwestEnvironmental Sciences Center (UMESC) has obtainedhistorical photography of the Upper MississippiRiver, collected by the Corps of Engineers. TheU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) UpperMississippi National Wildlife and Fish Refugecontracted the Upper Midwest EnvironmentalSciences Center (UMESC) to scan and georeferencethe 1954 images for lower Pool 8, to createreference images for use in geographic informationsystem (GIS). These data are also distributedthrough the UMESC Web site, so others can alsoaccess the data.

This dataset consists of digital scans of color infrared aerial photography from the Upper Mississippi River collected in 1975.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element has overseen the collection, processing, and serving of bathymetric data since 1989. A systemic data collection for the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) was completed in 2010. Water depth in aquatic systems is important for describing the physical characteristics of a river. Bathymetric maps are used for conducting spatial inventories of the aquatic habitat and detecting bed and elevation changes due to sedimentation. Bathymetric data is widely used, specifically for studies of water level management alternatives, modeling navigation impacts and hydraulic conditions, and environmental...

In 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)collected 1:15,000-scale true color aerialphotographs in Mississippi River Navigation Pools7 and 8. The FWS contracted the Upper MidwestEnvironmental Sciences Center (UMESC) to scan andgeoreference these images, to create referenceimages for use in geographic information system(GIS) software programs. These data are alsodistributed through the UMESC Web site so otherscan have access to the data as well.

Aerial photographs for Pools 1-13 Upper Mississippi River System and Pools, Alton-Marseilles, Illinois River were collected in color infrared (CIR) in August of 2010 at 8”/pixel and 16”/pixel respectively using a mapping-grade Applanix DSS 439 digital aerial camera. In August 2011, CIR aerial photographs for Pools 14-Open River South, Upper Mississippi River and Pools Dresden-Lockport, Illinois River were collected at 16”/pixel with the same camera. All CIR aerial photos were orthorectified, mosaicked, compressed, and served via the UMESC Internet site. The CIR aerial photos were interpreted and automated using a 31-class LTRMP vegetation classification. The 2010/11 LCU databases were prepared by or under the supervision...

Bed elevation data exists as topobathy data for the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) through the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program. While those data meet some needs, water depth is often the desired information needed by researchers and resource managers. Water depth data (i.e., bathymetry) at specific discharge conditions can be derived by construction of a water surface elevation GIS data layer. Such a layer was developed using liner interpolation between gages and adjusting for lateral discontinuity. The selected discharge condition was a low water condition determined by the condition exceeded 75% of the time over a 40-yr period.

In the late 1880's and early 1900's the Mississippi River Commission (MRC) conducted an extensive high-resolution survey of the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois to Minneapolis, Minnesota. These data were published as a series of 89 survey maps and index. In the 1990's, the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) in conjunction with the US Army Corps of Engineers Upper Mississippi River Restoration- Environmental Management Program -- Long Term Resource Monitoring Program element (LTRMP) for the Upper Mississippi River automated the maps' land cover/use symbology to create a turn of the century/pre-impoundment land cover/use data set. Other data on the maps that were not automated include; elevation...

In 2007, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers’ Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program partnered with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to collect FEMA-grade, bluff-to-bluff lidar for Navigation Pools 8-24 of the UMRS. In 2009, with American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) funds awarded to UMRR, the remaining lidar for the Upper Mississippi River, to the confluence with the Ohio River, and the Illinois River was contracted. Data acquisition was completed in 2011. Lidar data are remotely sensed, high-resolution elevation data collected by airplane. The Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center is processing these data to create Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), 0.5 meter contour lines, and pool-wide...
