The Puerto Rico 2000 land cover, created as part of the Puerto Rico GAP Analysis project supported by the USGS, is a seventy-class land cover classification.

The Landsat 7 scenes were separated into wet and dry season imagery, mosaiced, and segmented based on geo-climatic zones. The land cover was created through the use of the spectral information derived from the satellite imagery and ancillary data such as geology, topography, hydrology and land use history. The Puerto Rico GAP 2000 land cover product represents the first time a 15 meter spatial resolution...
