Data Set Name 

Land use / land cover, 1976, Lorain, OH

Description Abstract

 

This coverage land represents an interpretation of land use and land cover types done from aerial photography by James H. Given, Jr., 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. 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 measurement increment along these horizontal lines was one decafoot (10 feet) 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 / 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.
