DESCRIPTION
The Lake Tahoe basin was formed between 2 and 3 million
years ago. Thousands of years ago there was an avalanche, the remnants
of which we can be seen in the left-hand graphic image shown below, where
boulders are strewn across the lake floor.
The Lake Tahoe STF source data represents a 10-meter
digital elevation model (DEM) over a 32 km by 83 km area.

Recognizing the unique nature
of Lake Tahoe, President Clinton issued an executive order in July 1997
to establish a formal interagency partnership for management of Federal
activities with the Lake Tahoe Basin and development of a linked natural-resources
database and a Geographic Information System (GIS).
The source data for this project
was downloaded from the resulting Lake
Tahoe Clearinghouse. A unique 10 meter terrain/bathymetric surface
has been generated integrating data from:
- 10 meter DEM derived from
1:24,000 USGS Quad Map contours
- State-of-the-art USGS Marine
Geology multi-beam sonar
- State-of-the-art airborne
SHOALS lidar operated by the Corps of Engineers
Feature data have been assembled
from 1:24,000 source Digital Line Graphics. Digital Orthophoto Mosaic has
been assembled from 72 Digital Orthophoto Quads (DOQ) -- approximately
3 GB uncompressed.
Both gridded and polygonal data sets are provided
in the download.
