2010 Bathymetry and Digital Elevation Model of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California

In 2010 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed three cruises to map the bathymetry of the main channel and shallow intertidal mudflats in the southernmost part of south San Francisco Bay. The three surveys were merged to generate comprehensive maps of Coyote Creek (from Calaveras Point east to the railroad bridge) and Alviso Slough (from the bay to the town of Alviso) to establish baseline bathymetry prior to the breaching of levees adjacent to Alviso Slough as part of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project .
