National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD)

NLCD data is one of the most frequently cited land classifications and provides our base description of the landscape. The data represents a breakdown of all land cover across Minnesota. As a general land cover classification it presents broad classes consistently represented throughout the United States. It is produced by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC), a cooperation of Federal Agencies, and is considered the “definitive Landsat-based, 30-meter resolution, land cover database for the Nation” (Homer et al., 2012).
