Data Description

Land Use Land Cover Summer 2004 (raster)

This map depicts the land-use and land-cover of Arkansas as it occurred in the year 2004, and is one of three statewide map layers designed to show land-use changes throughout the year. Maps were also produced for spring, summer, and fall. The data are derived from Landsat TM 5 scenes and extensive ground-truth information. The maps focus primarily on agricultural land-use: crop and pasture lands. The maps consist of a broad based inventory of land-use and land-cover. Map categories fall with 6 broad “Level 1” categories: water, forest, barren, herbaceous, agricultural lands, and urban. Specific Level 1 land-use categories: agriculture and urban are broken into more discrete, “Level 2” land-use subcategories: e.g. crop type, pasture type.
