2 foot contours acquired as part of the Los Angeles Regional Imagery Acquisition Consortium in 2006.
The Digital Surface Model was acquired using LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), which used a laser mounted in planes that were acquiring 4-inch orthophotography data. Hundreds of millions of ground measurements were made using this system, which makes it extremely accurate. This source [...]
The County of Los Angeles has embarked on projects to replace the data it has historically licensed from Thomas Brothers with data that it owns and maintains internally. This will allow the County to distribute, update, and improve this data without current restrictions. The layer by layer comparison is listed below, and in the guide [...]
This dataset represents natural color, leaf-off, 0.33-foot (4-inch) high-resolution, high-accuracy orthorectified aerial imagery, acquired by the Los Angeles Regional Imagery Consortium (LAR-IAC) in winter 2010/2011. This imagery covers the majority of urban/suburban areas of the County in mainland (approximately 2,898 square miles) and Catalina Island covering approximately 75 square miles. The rest of the County, [...]

Statistical Areas 2000
The Statistical Areas dataset contains Statistical Areas from the LA County Department of Regional Planning (DRP). Statistical Areas are communities that can be grouped together to show areas of geographical connection in the county. To do this use the STAT_D field. Similar areas have the same first few [...]
Height data for the urban/suburban areas of the County of Los Angeles developed from information captured in 2006 by the LAR-IAC program.
This height data was developed from the following two data sources:
The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) which modeled the ground surface at 5-foot intervals. Click here for more information The [...]
A Hillshade is a shaded relief raster from a raster. Simply, when used with maps, it provides a three-dimensional aspect to the map based upon the relief of the underlying area. A more detailed definition of a hillshade can be found here.
This hillshade was computed from the 2006 Digital Elevation Model [...]
