The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District (CNPPD), conducted a study that used bathymetric and topographic surveying in conjunction with Geographical Information Systems techniques to determine the 2003 physical shape and storage capacity, as well as the change in storage capacity of Lake McConaughy that occurred over 62 years. By combining the bathymetric and topographic survey data, the 2003 surface area of Lake McConaughy was determined to be 30,413.0 acres, with a volume of 1,756,300 acre-feet at the lake conservation-pool elevation of 3,266.4 feet above North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (3,265.0 feet above CNPPD datum). To determine the changes in storage of Lake McConaughy, the 2003 survey Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was compared to a preconstruction DEM compiled from historical contour maps. This comparison showed an increase in elevation at the dam site due to the installation of Kingsley Dam. ...

These data are the survey results from a five-mile section of the Platte River at, and upstream of the Nebraska Army National Guard Camp Ashland Training Site including the side channel chutes on the east bank. All survey data were collected along planned transect lines that were spaced 492.125 US survey feet apart beginning near the mouth of the Elkhorn River and ending near the U.S. Highway 6 bridge. An effort was made to get complete elevation data for each transect from top of bank to top of bank. Survey grade Global Navigation and Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiving antennas connected to a real time network (RTK high precision network https://hprtk.net) were used to measure elevation along the transects, at the top of banks, along the slope of the banks, at control structures, on islands and sandbars and on the streambed in areas of the wetted channel that were wadable. GNSS data collection methods followed level 3, RTN procedures as described by (Rydlund and Densmore, 2012). An acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was used to measure streambed elevation in areas of the wetted channel that were not wadable. ADCP data were processed using Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013) to convert measured depths to elevation. This data release contains two comma separated value files. The CSV file named PlatteRiver_GNSS_SurveyData_20200924-20210402.csv contains the GNSS survey data. The CSV file named Bathy_ADCP_final_data_SPCS.csv contains bathymetric survey data.

These data are part of a larger USGS project to develop an updated geospatial database of mines, mineral deposits and mineral regions in the United States. Mine and prospect-related symbols, such as those used to represent prospect pits, mines, adits, dumps, tailings, etc., hereafter referred to as “mine” symbols or features, are currently being digitized on a state-by-state basis from the 7.5-minute (1:24, 000-scale) and the 15-minute (1:48, 000 and 1:62,500-scale) archive of the USGS Historical Topographic Maps Collection, or acquired from available databases (California and Nevada, 1:24,000-scale only). Compilation of these features is the first phase in capturing accurate locations and general information about features related to mineral resource exploration and extraction across the U.S. To date, the compilation of 400,000-plus point and polygon mine symbols from approximately 51,000 maps of 17 western states (AZ, CA, CO, ID, KS, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY and western TX) has been completed. The process renders not only a more complete picture of exploration and mining in the western U.S., but an approximate time line of when these activities occurred. The data may be used for land use planning, assessing abandoned mine lands and mine-related environmental impacts, assessing the value of mineral resources from Federal, State and private lands, and mapping mineralized areas and systems for input into the land management process. The data are presented as three groups of layers based on the scale of the source maps. No reconciliation between the data groups was done.

The lake mapping program was developed as a cooperative initiative between the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to provide detailed survey information on Nebraska's lakes and reservoirs. Each year a list of proposed lakes and reservoirs is submitted by biologists across the state and reviewed by a committee to determine the lakes of highest priority. A number of factors are taken into consideration including Aquatic Habitat Projects, lake conditions, fish communities, and angler use. The overall goal of the program is to provide fisheries managers with detailed information to be used in management and monitoring of Nebraska's lakes. Detailed bathymetric lake maps are also produced and made available to the public on the NGPC web site.

The following are a list of assumptions made during the modeling process. This is not an inclusive list. Levees and levee closure structures were included in the analysis only if they were listed in the US Army Corps of Engineers' National Levee Database (NLD). No levee breach analyses were completed: levees were assumed to perform until overtopped. Bridges and culverts were modeled unobstructed: ice Jams and debris collection were not considered. Inundation boundaries were only developed for the listed stream: tributaries were not taken into account. Lakes, ponds, and lagoons were assumed dry until overtopped.. The critical facilities layer is draft and subject to change at any time. The models used to develop the inundation boundaries and depth grids were developed using the best available topographic, land use, and flood insurance study data, as well as best engineering practices at the time of their development. Any change to the topography or land use will impact the accuracy of the inundation boundaries. These are not regulatory models and were developed solely for informational purposes. Any use of these models or modifications beyond that are not recommended, but may be conducted based on the discretion of a licensed professional engineer. The Department of Natural Resources makes no claims, representations, and warranties, express or implied, concerning the validity, the reliability, or the accuracy of the data and data products furnished by the Department. The Department of Natural Resources assumes no liability for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided regardless of their cause, or for any decision made, action taken, or action not taken in reliance upon the information contained in these models. All models and reports are available from NeDNR, upon request.

These vector contour lines are derived from the 3D Elevation Program using automated and semi-automated processes. They were created to support 1:24,000-scale topographic map products, but are also published in this GIS vector format. Contour intervals are assigned by 7.5-minute quadrangle, so this vector dataset is not visually seamless across quadrangle boundaries. The vector lines have elevation attributes (in feet above mean sea level on NAVD88), but this dataset does not carry line symbols or annotation.
