Taken on Friday April 12, 2013 at Albany Pine Bush.This map shows the 300 or so points in the Albany Pine Bush Study Area, that are above 325 feet in elevation and are a prominence around the surrounding land. The landfill is the highest peak at 432 feet above sea level, while Overlook Dune near the Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center tops out at 374 feet above sea level. The highest dune can be seen from the Traux Trailhead on Kings Road, which tops out 390 feet above sea level.
Data Source: Albany County LIDAR Digital Elevation Models. Dune peaks obtained by using the GRASS plugin in QGIS with r.param.scale, method=feature, then r.reclass to remove anything but value=6 to create peaks, then r.tovect to convert to vector areas, then used zonal statistics to find the maximum value on the peak, then extracted the centroids of the polygons.
With some tire tracks from the restoration efforts.
