US Army Corps of Engineers Lake Mapping Project

The US Army Corps of Engineers teamed up with Integrated Lakes Management for a Bathymetric Lake Mapping project in Chicago.  Ships and barges using this particular harbor have been battling sedimentation while navigating through the water  and required a bathymetric survey to understand the severity of the problem.   GPS lake mapping techniques developed by The Mapping Network were used to create an accurate depth model of the harbor.
