DJ&A used LiDAR technology to map a total of 63,000 acres over a 33-mile corridor along the Clark Fork River between Garrison and Anaconda, Montana. DJ&A, as the prime contractor, provided client coordination, project management, oversight and coordination to acquire aerial ortho-imagery and LiDAR bare earth points in support of generating 1′ contour interval topographic mapping as well as other defined classified points. The imagery and mapping data was tiled into manageable data file sizes with seamless match lines between tiles.
