Land Cover 1992



Description

In 1992, a database of landcover and wetlands for the State of Georgia at a scale of 1:24,000 (and 100 ft resolution) to be used for regional and local environmental investigation and planning was developed by ERDAS, Inc. under contract for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR). In 1995, this database was partially revised by the GA DNR, Natural Heritage Program to reflect alterations to the agricultural landcover information primarily in Southwest Georgia and to provide the data at a 200 ft. resolution.

Landcover classification was performed by ERDAS, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia. Landsat Thematic Mapper bands one through five were used in the classification. The landcover classification was derived from a limited number of field samples.
