Open the mapLidar coverage
Lidar projects that cover Carthage, from the USGS 3DEP index. Other parts of the county may come from other projects; the coverage guide explains how to check any spot.
No lidar project is recorded at Carthage; the map falls back to the coarser 3DEP elevation model there.
Property boundaries
The Property tool can select parcels in Moore County from the county assessor’s GIS parcels (NC OneMap statewide parcels (county assessors)) and use the boundary as the area for any other tool. Assessor parcels are not surveys.
