Description: Land Cover data (circa 1990's) was compiled and crosswalked between U.S. and Canadian data sources to yield a regional dataset representing 13 major land cover types. These types include the following: Inland Open Water/Ocean, Low-High Intensity Residential, Commercial/Industrial/Transportation, Bare Rock/Sand/Clay, Quarries/Strip Mines/Gravel Pits/Peat Bogs, Regenerating Forest, Deciduous Forest, Conifer Forest, Mixed Forest, Shrubland, Agriculture/Plantations/Cultivated, and Forested Wetland, Emergent Herbaceious Wetlands. The input datasets which represented a variety of spatial scales were resampled to a pixel resolution of 30m x 30m cell.
