Elevation points
Listed in City of Vancouver Open Data Portal
This file of elevation points contains the location (X and Y) as well as elevation (Z).
Description
These points were created for the acquisition of the City's 2002 orthophotos and have been marginally modified since then (in 2004, 2006 and 2008). Modifications occurred in some, but probably not all, areas where there were significant changes in the terrain due to development.
However, these points should not be taken to be authoritative or anything more than approximate because of the process by which they have been created. This is not a digital elevation model (DEM) per se. Data access This dataset has not yet been converted to a format compatible with our new platform.
