### Summary

    To show the elevation contour lines on Kosrae.

### Description

    This dataset shows the elevation of Kosrae at 10-meter intervals. It was derived by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019) from a 10-meter resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) created by U.S. Geological Survey based on topography compiled in 1967and the shoreline dataset representing the zero contour line.
