The topographic map of Houston with the highest accuracy on the internet.

Find, create and share high-resolution topographic maps using Equator.

Houston topographic maps, accessible in Equator, are used by infrastructure design professionals such as:

• Planners
• Architects
• Civil Engineers
• Flood Analysts
• Construction Professionals
• Landscape Designers

You define the export area, in any shape. Simply draw a polygon around your site. Bring in files from your computer, stack layers on top of each other and customize how they look.

Professionals use Equator to export data directly into a CAD format. This saves them hours of hunting down data, organizing and drafting that data. Equator provides easy access to the South Carolina topographic map.

The Houston topographic map will give you access to the highest quality data of any topographic map online.

Make stand out maps in minutes with contours, point clouds, 3D surfaces and more, found inside Equator.

The Houston topographic data is sourced from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), specifically their 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). You can read more about the 3DEP here. In general, built-in Houston elevation data is sourced from a library of airborne LiDAR surveys that are managed by the USGS, and connected to Equator for easy access.

Contours can be extracted from the Houston topographic map at any resolution to a shapefile (.shp) or drawing (.dxf).

Digital elevation models (DEMs), digital surface models (DSMs) and point clouds (LAZ) can also be exported.

Contours can be opened in AutoDesk Civil3D (or similar) simply by opening an dxf file or shapefile exported from Equator. This tutorial explains how to create a 3D surface in Civil 3D directly from a shapefile.

Equator allows users to access local LiDAR surveys in the best available resolution. Experience 3D topography in high-resolution, unlike ever before.
