John C NelsonLarry RobinsonJoe Jakusz201301312000 UMRS Land Cover Land Use, KMLvector digital datahttp://www.umesc.usgs.gov/data_library/land_cover_use/2000_lcu_umesc.htmlThe U.S. Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) is in the process of creating high-resolution land cover/use data sets for the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) from 1:24,000-scale color infrared aerial photos collected in 2000. The photos are being interpreted using a 1-hectare 10% minimum vegetation cover to delineate land cover/land use, percent vegetation cover, tree height, and hydrology regime. The geographic extent of the UMRS is the Mississippi River from Cairo, IL to Minneapolis, MN and the Illinois River from its confluence with the Mississippi near Grafton, IL to Lake Michigan.The Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center administers the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP), authorized under the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662). The mission of the LTRMP is to provide decision makers with information to maintain the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) as a viable large river ecosystem given its multiple-use character. The long-term goals of the Program are to understand the system, determine resource trends and impacts, develop management alternatives, manage information, and develop useful products. The creation and distribution of high-resolution land cover/use data for the UMRS aids the Center in meeting these goals.2000080620001002temporal and graphical extents of mappingNone planned-88.103967-88.06810341.57060241.502094NoneMappingLand CoverLand Cover Land UseAlthough these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the U.S. Geological Survey, no warranty has been expressed or implied regarding the individual use of the data or aggregate use with other data, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.

Each polygon begins and ends at the same point with the node feature. All nodes are checked for error so that there are no dangling features. There are no duplicate lines or polygons. All nodes will snap together and close polygons based on a specified tolerance. If the node is not with the tolerance it is adjusted manually. The tests for logical consistency are performed in ARC/INFO using certain commandsAll data that was photo-interpreted is also automated. This includes submergent classes, emergents, grasses, and trees. Photo interpretation was performed using a 1-hectare minimum mapping unit, 10% vegetation cover.A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted.A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable.aerial photography collected20000807Steroscopes used to create polygon lineowrk and attributes on mylar overlays on photography20001101Linework overlays scanned20010801Digital linework georeferenced and cleaned20011001Georeferenced vectors merged to create polygon layers20011203Georeferenced polygons attributed20020107Topology created and quality control work completed20020201Metadata Created20130201converted to KML2013VectorGT-polygon composed of chains109NAD 1983 UTM Zone 15N0.9996-93.00.0500000.00.0coordinate pair0.0000000022200241645009560.000000002220024164500956meterD North American 1983GRS 19806378137.0298.257222101lc_2000_braType of FeatureESRIFIDInternal feature number.EsriSequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.ShapeFeature geometry.ESRICoordinates defining the features.UMR_ATToriginal photo interpretation CodeUS Army Corps of Engineers Long Term Resource Monitoring Program, an element of the Upper Mississippi River Restoration- Environmental Management Program and USGS's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences CenterAG

Agriculture - all obviously cultivated fields (includes transitional or fallow fields that show evidence of tilling)
Trees - upland forest (associated with soils drier than a lowland forest, includes red and white oaks, hickories, and elm)
Trees - floodplain forest (predominantly silver maple, includes ash, cottonwood, black willow, elm, and/or river birch)
Trees - wooded swamp (associated with semipermanently flooded soils, includes bald cypress, black ash, sourgum, and water tupelo)
Trees - floodplain forest (predominantly silver maple, includes ash, cottonwood, black willow, elm, and/or river birch)
Developed - predominantly artificial in nature (e.g., urban areas, large farmsteads, industrial complexes)
Shrubs - wet meadow shrubs (>25%, typically alder, dogwood, elder, false indigo and/or willow) occurring with mixed sedge and/or grasses/forbs understory
Trees - floodplain forest (predominantly silver maple, includes ash, cottonwood, black willow, elm, and/or river birch)
Grasses - moist soil grasses (e.g., reed canary grass, rice cutgrass) with inclusions of mixed emergents and/or forbs
Mud - mud flats (exposed mud at lower water levels)
No coverage (includes no photo coverage and areas obscured by clouds or shadows)
Emergents - semipermanently flooded persistent (dominated by arrowhead, bur-reed, cattail, and/or pickerelweed)
Trees - commercially grown (includes evergreen and deciduous trees, orchards, and nurseries)
Sand - sand bar (typically found in and near the main channel, often associated with wing dams and islands)
No coverage (includes no photo coverage and areas obscured by clouds or shadows)
Developed - predominantly artificial in nature (e.g., urban areas, large farmsteads, industrial complexes)
