If your state had such imaging available, how would one go about finding it?Fyi- depending on your state, you might have access to free lidar imagery.

How does the detail in spartan Forge compare to CalTopo's shaded relief for this particular feature? I'm comparing the two currently and it looks like caltopo had better detail?View attachment 95827
Above is a ridge in a swamp, with a small ditch running it. Not sure if it's a random water channel or (suspected) the remnants of an old primitive road. Pretty clearly defined.

Above is the in-person view of that ditch. The ridge is maybe 2-3ft higher than the surrounding swamp. The ditch is maybe a foot or 2 deep.
If you hunt swamps, LiDar is the biggest thing that's ever happened for your hunting.
I left the coordinates on the image. Post up whatever caltopo shows. It's been years since I've messed with it so I'm not sure. But if it shows more detail than this, I'll swap.How does the detail in spartan Forge compare to CalTopo's shaded relief for this particular feature?

This doesn't look to be much different to my eye, maybe a touch more detailedI left the coordinates on the image. Post up whatever caltopo shows. It's been years since I've messed with it so I'm not sure. But if it shows more detail than this, I'll swap.
Not much functional difference in image quality to my eye.This doesn't look to be much different to my eye, maybe a touch more detailed

A little more detail, and that's CalTopos free version, not sure if the pro would offer even more detail or notNot much functional difference in image quality to my eye.
Post this up if you've got time:

To give some perspective, the indentation in the mound just to the lower-left of the cross hair is the remnants of where they excavated and then filled in an archeological dig on the mound. It's not much bigger than a bathtub.
The ditch that runs east-west just north of the mound is a foot trail. Literally just a 6" to 1' depression made by people walking in to sight see.
