ABOUT THIS MAP
Data Sources : The land use / land cover categories displayed on this map were derivedfrom sources that included the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Stabilizationand Conservation Service�s (ASCS) low altitude, section-centered, 35mm color aerialphotography taken during 1988-1990 and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National WetlandsInventory (NWI) 1:24,000-scale field maps. Landsat satellite images (date unrecorded)were used to verify the classifications.
Data Interpretation and Computerization : The project was coordinated by TheInternational Coalition for Land and Water Stewardship in the Red River Basin. Land use /land cover interpretation was performed by DPA International. The smallest areainterpreted was approximately 2.5 acres.
Land use / land cover information was transcribed on to stable-base mylars registered toU.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps and then digitized by DPAInternational or Alexandria Technical College staff. Minnesota Department of NaturalResources MIS Bureau staff then joined the digitized files together to create countycoverages.
