Elevation

As part of New Jersey's statewide GIS coordination program, LiDAR data collections and derived elevation products are available for download. These data are stored in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service through the AWS Open Data program and are available for download using the AWS Command Line Interface.

Quality Level 2 (QL2) collections provide the highest quality and most current elevation data available for New Jersey. Together, these regional collections cover the entire state.

Legacy collections provide a patchwork of older elevation data with varying quality specifications.

To see the spatial coverage of all elevation projects, use the now deprecated LiDAR and DEM Datasets for NJ index layer (previously used for the NJ Elevation Product Finder and Product Extent web applications).

These collections are no longer available on physical media such as hard drives. Contact Us for more information.
