The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 5 km to the northeast was measured in October 2009. The elevation data were collected with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) systems mounted on all-terrain vehicles. The GPS sampling rate was 1 Hz with vehicle speeds maintained at less than 15 km/hour, resulting in a sample point resolution of 3-5 m. Data are available in a single csv file.
