Surveys
-
Traditional methods to collect topographic data include use of level total station and now Differential GPS.
-
Differential GPS has increased speed that surveys can be done.
-
Accurracy depends upon how close spot elevations are to each other.
-
Elevation is often collected in assumed coordinates, but should be tied into real world coordinates.
-
Engineering firms and local governments often maintain copies of local surveys that contain topographic data.
