Maryland LiDAR Availability

Maryland is among the states in the US that is acquiring LIDAR data, complementing the National LIDAR Dataset - USA effort to acquire high resolution elevation data across the nation. The Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources coordinates with most counties in the state regarding acquisition specifications, post-processing quality control, and in some cases, distribution. However, in general each county initiates the LIDAR acquisition.[1]

State-wide sources for Maryland LiDAR data include:
