York County Landcover

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

The following is a version of the Anderson Land Use/Land Cover classification adopted by Penn State University (Land Analysis Lab) for the Chesapeake Bay Basin Land Cover/Land Use Monitoring and Assessment Study.

Purpose:

2003 York County Landcover Layer. Aerial Imagery used for creation of this dataset was from PAMAP program in 2003. Other Layers Used in this layer is Parcels (for snapping and Landuse codes), Lakes and Ponds, Parks, Roads buffered to 11 feet on each side, Streams buffered to 6 feet on each side and Railroads buffered to 8 feet on each side. Dataset has been dissvoled except for Road Rightaway which has been dissolved by tiles that are used in the PAMAP program. Oldest oblqiue and google streetview was used as well. Intended for illustration and demonstration purposes only

Stockpiles, lagoons, waste disposal areas, transportation facilities for bulk products are often present. C - Chemical Related - plastics, pharmaceuticals, etc. P - Petroleum Related - refining M - Metals - refining, shaping W - Wood Processing - pulp and paper, sawmills, wood treatment B - Brick, Concrete, Block 134 Electrical Generation N - Nuclear 0 - Oil G - Gas C - Coal H - Hydro-Electric 135 Tank Farms and Materials Storage Includes tank farms, stockpiles and bins of materials away from industrial facilities and/or larger than the minimum mapping unit. 136 Industrial Waste Treatment/Recycling, Facilities 137 Inactive/Dismantled Industrial Site 139 Other Industrial 140 Transportation/Communication 141 Highways/Roads/Access Roads/Freeways/Interstates 142 Parking Lots Only those parking lots that exceed the minimum mapping unit. 143 Railroads X - Dismantled Railroads Y - Railyards, Repair Facilities Includes stations, parking lots, and repair and switching yards. 144 Airports Includes runways, intervening land, terminals, service buildings, navigational aids, fuel storage, parking lots and a limited buffer zone. 145 Communications - antennas 146 Marinas/Port Facilities/Docks 149 Other Transportation/Communication 150 Utilities Facilities involved in treatment, transportation, and delivery of water, gas, oil, and electricity. 151 Water Treatment Does not include reservoirs. 152 Sewage Treatment Plants 153 Power Substations 186 Religious 187 Municipal Services Includes police and fire stations. 188 Road repair and Maintenance Yard 189 Other Institutional/Governmental 190 Recreational 191 Large Single Structure Includes stadiums and race tracks. 192 Multiple Structure Includes fairgrounds, amusement parks, zoos, and piers. 193 Open Urban Includes parks, playgrounds, golf courses, athletic fields, drive-in theaters and swimming pools. 194 Open Rural Includes ski areas and camp grounds. 195 Public Beaches Includes only those beaches with associated boardwalks. 199 Other Recreational 200 Agriculture 210 Cropland and Pasture 211 Cropland Includes those fields which are previously being maintained as crop producing areas and have vegetation cover at the time of imagery acquisition.
