Data Description

Data Set Name 

Unique agricultural land, 1976, Lorain, OH

Description Abstract

 

This theme highlights areas in Lorain County which produce specialty crops. Areas covered include orchards and groves and vineyards. The coverage used in this analysis was digitized from data 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 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county raster based file which was subsequently converted to ARC/INFO format. The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the data as drafted. Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request.
