The mission of the USGS Gap Analysis Project (GAP) is to provide state, regional and national biodiversity assessments of the conservation status of native vertebrate species and natural land cover types and to facilitate the application of this information to land management activities. The goal of GAP is to keep common species common by identifying species and plant communities not adequately represented in existing conservation lands. Common species are those not currently threatened with extinction. By providing these data, land managers and policy makers can make better-informed decisions when identifying priority areas for conservation. The U.S. Geological Survey Gap Analysis Project Land Cover Data is complete for the conterminous United States. The national coverage has been clipped to each of the 50 states, the 21 Landscape Conservation Cooperatives and 6 regions.This data may represent one of these subsets.
