Land Use Land Cover
Land use and land cover data are available from two sources, the United States National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), and the United States Geological Survey National Land Cover Database (NLCD) from The National Map. Information from these sources is primarily derived from classification of satellite imagery.
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Data from the United States National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) are provided for multiple years, from 1997 to the most recent published. NASS products are derived from satellite imagery to produce digital, categorized, crop-specific information.

Land use and land cover information from the United States Geological Survey National Land Cover Database (NLCD) used in The National Map are provided for 16 land cover classes at a resolutions up to 30 meters. NLCD classification schemes are based primarily on Landsat satellite data along with ancillary data sources, such as topography, census and agricultural statistics, soil characteristics, wetlands, and other land cover maps.
