Swain County shapefile for 20 foot contours. Elevation for this county ranges from 1085 to 6638 feet. Elevation mean: 3199 Feet General purpose display of elevation data. You should not expect the contours to be exact. The vertical datum used is NAVD 88, but the accuracy of the LIDAR is about 25cm or about 10, however, using two foot contours might be pushing data beyond the intended accuracy.
