Data set ID:
This is a statewide, seamless digital dataset of land use / land cover for the State of Massachusetts derived using semi-automated methods and based on digital imagery captured in 2005 with 0.5 m pixel resolution. The project area encompasses the State of Massachusetts. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) for this dataset is 1 acre overall for the dataset. However, there are some exceptions: a MMU of 0.5 acre has been used for rural areas where there may be isolated residential, commercial, or industrial structures. In such cases, areas less than 1 acre and more than about 0.5 acre are mapped.
