UAS Imagery at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in 2018 and 2019 following the Carr Fire

Raw aerial photography, orthorectified imagery, point cloud data, and digital elevation models (DEMs) for Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (NRA) following the Carr Fire. Sites within the NRA include: Lower Crystal Creek, Tower House, Grizzly Gulch, Boulder Creek South Shore and Conifer, Brandy Creek Camp, Shasta Divide, Paige Bar (North, NEED Camp, East, and Southeast), Chinese Laundry, and Coggins Park. Imagery was collected with two sensors (Ricoh GR II and MicaSense RedEdge) on a quadcopter flown at 400 feet above ground level immediately following the Carr Fire (October 2018) and 8-9 months after the fire (May and June 2019). Due to access, not all sites were flown during both collection periods. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center UAS data is available from Earth Explorer. To access: 1) Log in to https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov 2) Search for imagery by downloading the KMZ file below and selecting it within the KML tab in the Search Criteria (on Earth Explorer). 3) Specify a date range if searching for imagery from a specific collection period. 4) Click on Data Sets and select UAS - Raw/Orttho/Point Cloud/DEM (desired imagery format). 5) Click on Results to view and download imagery.
