Land use, 1977, Lake, OH

Description Abstract

 

This theme shows land use in 1977 as mapped by the Lake County Planning Commissions. This coverage was digitized from land use information drafted onto USGS quadrangle maps using a run length encoding technique, sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these horizontal lines was one decafoot (10 ft.). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county file which was subsequently converted to Arc/Info format. The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the land use as drafted. Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request.
