Land Use/Cover, Agricultural and Transition Areas, Minnesota, 1990

The Land Use/Cover project was undertaken with three principal purposes in mind: 1. Provide detailed and up-to-date land use and land cover information for state resource management and planning projects, local water and watershed planning, and local comprehensive planning projects. 2. Update the 1969 land use/land cover map to make it possible to analyze changes in land use over the intervening 20 years: https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/biota-landcover-mlmis-1969 3. Use the updated and more detailed land use/land cover variable as a unifying component for a new, much more refined and detailed state data base.
