This data release contains field sampling data collected on a farm located in Talbot County. Maryland, roadside survey data from the area surrounding the farm, and WorldView-3 satellite data of the study area. Datasets include: 1) CropResidueDataset.csv: Tabular data for 174 photo sampling locations with crop residue cover ranging from 0% to 98%, as well as line-point transect residue cover measurements and lat-long geolocations 2) Roadside_Survey_May14th2015.zip: Zipfile containing roadside survey data for 63 fields documenting percent crop residue cover, including shapefile of field boundaries 3) GroundCoverPhotographs.zip: Zipfile containing 174 nadir photographs that were the basis for ground cover calculations 4) WorldView-3 satellite imagery collected May 14, 2015 and converted to surface reflectance using MODTRAN. The data support a manuscript published in Remote Sensing journal: Hively, W.D; Lamb, B.T. Daughtry, C.S.T. Shermeyer, J. McCarty, G.W., and Quemada, M., 2018, Mapping Crop Residue and Tillage Intensity Using WorldView-3 Satellite Shortwave Infrared Residue Indices: Remote Sensing, vol. 10, p. 1657. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10101657
