| Abstract | The Hybrid Landcover is an attempt to clean up the University of Minnesota Remote Sensing Lab's 2000 LandSat Land Cover for the Twin Cities 7-county metropolitan area. The most difficult areas for the satellite to identify are transitional areas between two cover types. Layers such as the Metropolitan Council's Land Use 2000, National Wetlands Inventory, County Biological Survey, TLG Roads, MLCCS Grasslands polygons, GAP 2000, DNR Parks boundaries were referenced to clarify and correct classifications of cover type. |
| Use Tips | This is the best complete coverage land cover data currently available for the seven county metropolitan area. It could be useful for regional scale analysis for natural resource protection and/or land use planning. |
