EnviroAtlas -- Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN -- Meter-Scale Urban Land Cover (MULC) Data (2010)
The Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN EnviroAtlas Meter-scale Urban Land Cover (MULC) data were generated from four-band (red, green, blue, and near infrared) aerial photography provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). The NAIP imagery for the state of Minnesota was collected during the summer and fall of 2010. Lidar data and relevant ancillary datasets contributed to the classification. Eight land cover types were classified: water, impervious surface, soil and barren land, trees and forest, grass and herbaceous, agriculture, woody wetland, and emergent wetland. An accuracy assessment of 644 completely random and 62 stratified random photointerpreted reference points yielded an overall User's Accuracy of 83 percent. The boundary of this data layer is delineated by the US Census Bureau's 2010 Urban Statistical Area for Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN plus a 1-km buffer. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).
