Data Description

Data Set Name 

Land use, 1981, Cuyahoga county, Ohio

This coverage represents an interpretation of land use and land cover types done from aerial photography by Bruce R. Motsch, Remote Sensing Unit, Division of Soil and Water Conservation. For an explanation of categories see Ohio Land Use/ Cover Classifications System, Misc. Report 17 available upon request, or at www.dnr.state.oh.us/odnr/relm/resanalysis/lumain.html . This publication is keyed to the four digit code found in the OCAPCODE item name code description. The areas coded as OCAPCODE 96, Government or Municipal Buildings are not contained in this classification but were added for specific polygons based on comments from the Cuyahoga County Regional Planning Commission. These polygons do not include all government buildings in the county. This coverage was digitized from Land Use/ Land Cover drafted onto USGS quadrangle maps utilizing a run length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represent the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet . The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the Land Use / Land Cover as drafted. Blue line copies of the original Land Use / Land Cover interpretation can be provided for a nominal charge. Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request.
