British Columbia is well-renowned for its diverse and mountainous terrain. The B.C. Government collects elevation data and uses it to create digital maps of the province's surface land.
Learn about the techniques used by the Provincial Government and obtain digital elevation imagery for use in projects on the land base.
The gridded digital elevation model of B.C. is presented as a map sheet with additional slope, aspect and hillshade data.
Hillshade simulates light and shade from the sun. Hillshade images are a way of visually representing B.C.'s digital elevation model.
The TRIM Positional Data package offers an option to purchase DEM data in the form of vector point elevation data.
B.C.'s elevation data and models are provided by GeoBC.
