Somerset County Land Use and Land Cover Dataset

The data set will provide information for regulators, planners, and others interested in LU/LC changes, and allow them to quantify those changes over time using GIS. The use of the 2020 LU/LC update in land use analyses will provide a means of monitoring "the health of the citizens and ecosystems of New Jersey" through the use of diverse applications. This data set is intended to serve as a resource data set. The NJDEP may change the line work or polygon coding based on more in depth analysis and field inspection. The data for Somerset County data was extracted & processed from the latest dataset by the Somerset County Office of GIS Services (SCOGIS).
