Description:
Abstract:
This dataset uses the Anderson Level 2 Classification System to display land use / land cover for each Maryland County and Baltimore City. Initially developed using high altitude aerial photography and satellite imagery. For 2002, land cover types were undated using 2002 aerial photography for Central Maryland. Urban land use categories were further refined using parcel information from the 2002 Edition of MDPropertyView.
Purpose:
To display generalized land use / land cover to support planning, economic development, transportation and environmental mapping efforts in Maryland.

Process_Description:
Individual land use / land cover categories were identified using satellite imagery. Land uses were then digitized in a vector format. Urban land use types were identified\verified using parcel information available from MDPropertyView.
