Example PLSS section illustrating an intermediate step in the voxel-based metric calculation process.

The section has been divided horizontally and vertically into 5-m resolution voxels. Statistics were then calculated to summarize points contained within each voxel. In this example, each point represents the mean height within the respective 5-m voxel. This data is used to subsequently calculate the voxel-based metrics shown in Table 1 for the entire PLSS section.
