Wiscland – NLCD Crosswalk
Wiscland:
Wiscland, or Wisconsin Initiative for Statewide Cooperation on Landscape
Analysis and Data, was developed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources by interpreting land cover from LANDSAT Thematic Mapper (TM)
satellite imagery acquired from fly-overs in August, 1991; May, July, September,
and October, 1992; and May, 1993. WISCLAND Land Cover Database of Wisconsin.
1998. Madison, WI: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
National Land Cover Dataset:
National Land Cover Dataset 1992 – NLCD 92) is a 21-category land cover
classification scheme that has been applied consistently over the conterminous
U.S. It is based primarily on the unsupervised classification of Landsat Thematic
Mapper (TM) 1992 imagery. The NLCD 92 classification is provided as raster
data with a spatial resolution of 30 meters.
