Abstract:This data set is one complete raster coverage of the USGS National Land Cover Data (NLCD). The NLCD is a 21-class, land cover classification of the contiguous United States. It is derived from early to mid-1990s Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite data. A complete description of this data can found at http://landcover.usgs.gov/natllandcover.asp.Purpose:The NLCD data is distributed by the USGS EROS Data Center for each U.S. state. The spatial data set distributed here represents the processing of State files into one contiguous raster coverage file for the United States. The single raster coverage is intended for use in spatial analyses for the U.S. Individual State coverages can be downloaded separately from http://landcover.usgs.gov/natllandcover.asp
