National Elevation Dataset 1/3 Arc-Second (NED 1/3)
NED 1/3 Arc-Second covers approximately 95 percent of the conterminous United States and Hawaii. However, the source data with a resolution of 10-meters or better currently exists for only 66 percent of that area. A portion of the current 1/3 arc-second NED coverage is derived from oversampling of 30-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) source data. The NED spatial metadata explains the source data used to produce the 1/3 arc-second NED over any given area. This is a seamless product updated bimonthly to incorporate the best available DEM.
