Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This 30-meter resolution data set represents the imperviousness layer for the conterminous United States for the 2001 time period. The data have been arranged into four tiles to facilitate timely display and manipulation within a Geographic Information System, browse graphic: nlcd01-partition. The National Land Cover Data Set for 2001 was produced through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. [...]

Purpose

To provide complete, current, and consistent public domain information of national land use and land cover. This national (conterminous United States) data set was developed for use by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. NAWQA uses land-use data to assess land-use change, such as urban development and loss of agricultural lands as well as to allocate nutrient and pesticide loads to particular land-use categories.
