Topographic Map of Alaska Elevation, Contours & LiDAR Maps in Equator

Background

Topographic data for Alaska

Topographic data in Alaska is produced by the United States Geological Survey, the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, and municipal geographic information system programs. Using contour lines to represent elevation and landforms, these datasets reflect landscapes ranging from the Alaska Range to the Yukon River Basin and the Arctic coastal lowlands. Statewide initiatives such as the Alaska Statewide Digital Mapping Initiative and the Alaska Elevation Data Program generate elevation resources used by geologists, coastal engineers, natural resource managers, and emergency response planners.

These datasets support permafrost studies, coastal erosion monitoring, and planning for remote transportation routes. Equator strengthens these efforts through an interactive three dimensional environment where users can compare elevation layers, analyze terrain behavior, and coordinate complex planning tasks.
