A drone lidar survey of 19th century pleasure garden of Valcour Aimee. Long abandoned, the ruins of the garden are lost beneath dense overgrowth and a canopy of mature southern live oaks. The lidar survey reveals traces of the garden such as the historic waterways and mound. This project was supported by the LSU Center for GeoInformatics and the LSU Coastal Ecosystem Design Studio. The spatial reference system of the datais WGS 84 / UTM zone 15N (EPSG: 32615). The data are released under the Creative Commons Zero public domain dedication.
