I downloaded the DEM data from USGS. It comes with several raster files in .img. I know that a mosaic tool can merge them together. I found a lot of tools in the mosaic toolset.

Which one should I use?

  • If you really only have a few rasters then mosaic to new raster should suffice. As you have provide no information about the rasters other than it's file type that's about as good as I can offer...

You are on the right track, but you don't want to use the tools in the Mosaic folder. Instead, using ArcToolbox navigate to "Mosaic to New Raster".

Arc Toolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Dataset > Mosaic to New Raster

All of the files you are manipulating should have the same cell size because they are all from USGS, but I would double check prior to using the mosaic tool by looking at the properties of each of your layers.
