This land use raster dataset is intended to facilitate analysis of the landscape in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed through identification of specific areas of land use for a discrete time period. The dataset was developed by the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Laboratory in cooperation with Chesapeake Conservancy (CC) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of a 6-year Cooperative Agreement between Chesapeake Conservancy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a separate Interagency Agreement between the USGS and EPA to provide geospatial support to the Chesapeake Bay Program Office. |

| description:
|
This 54-class land use/land cover data was created by translating land cover into land use using a combination of ancillary data, spatial rules, and regionally-specific parameters. Vector image segments derived from National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery with object-oriented classification software and attributed with land cover classes was intersected with county tax parcel data, creating the base input for field and feature delineation. Additional ancillary data used in the analysis include: landfills, active and abandoned mines, roads, railroads, County land use, NASS Cropland Data Layer, USGS National LAnd Cover Dataset, AI-derived solar fields, timber harvest permits, USFWS National Wetland Inventory, and other data. The classification rules and process was implemented iteratively to allow for review, refinement, and quality assurance by local stakeholders and regional experts.
