Making a Mountain out of a Mown Hill

When an urban dweller mows his green carpet lawn, the clippings likely go into the local waste collection service. In Pompano Beach, Florida , that destination would be the Monarch Hill Landfill. The folks at [WM] (https://www.wm.com/us/en/location/fl/pompano-beach?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=S04015) have built quite the proverbial pyramid. It was about 120 feet high when this LiDAR data was captured. This HRTM uses USGS TNM elevation data and is rendered in Global Mapper commercial GIS. The color-to elevation mapping cycles every 10 meters, so you can count the repetition os blue stripes up the side of the hill. Sea leve is a t0, 10, 20, 30 meters above sea level... The HRTM uses a 20x exaggeration when applying hill shading, making this look more of a mountain than it really is.
