HRTM of Goldsboro Ridge, a landform northeast of Goldsboro, NC

HRTM generated from NC State LiDAR point cloud datastet, composted in Global Mapper and exported as a GeoTiff at a resolution for 50 cm spatially. The cyclic color ramp repeats every 10 meters, with the relief here totaling ~18 m, from 25 m in the NE drainage to 43 m in the western ridge extent. The image demonstrates the progression of bay destruction by erosion from the west to the east as the ridge is eaten away by sheet erosion to the north and to the south. Bay rims go last. This location was the subject in 1970 of the most extensive coring operation ever attempted on Carolina bay landform: [Daniels, Gamble & Wheeler, The Goldsboro Ridge, an Enigma](http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/f/SoutheasternGeology_Vol12_No03_1971_M.pdf).
