C-CAP | C-CAP High-Resolution Data | Initial C-CAP High-Resolution Land Cover Layers | Canopy

NOAA Logo Canopy

Description

These nationally standardized, raster-based map products bring NOAA’s national land cover mapping framework to the local level, providing a level of detail that has not been available in past Regional (30-meter) products.

These initial layers focused on impervious, canopy, and water feature mapping represent the first step towards a more complete national land cover product. They are provided as-is but are also used as a foundation for adding more detailed categories (such as agricultural areas and wetlands) in order to develop more refined land cover products on a project-by-project basis.

Recommended: For each geotiff, download the companion auxiliary file (.tif.aux.xml), which contains display and attribute information.
