Lake Tohoe
A DEM is a digital elevation model. It is a map that digitally projects ground surface topography or terrain.  DEM’s are commonly built using remote sensing techniques but can also be built from land surveying.  The DEM above is a map created by the USGS. It is showing the topography of the Lake Tahoe Basin Area.
