This layer contains the percentage of generalized land cover by 12-digit hyrdologic unit codes (HUCs). The 2011 NOAA C-CAP land cover raster was converted to a shapefile, generalized to minimize the number of categories, intersected with 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs), and dissolved by generalized category and 12-digit HUC. Percent calculations were then made based on the total area of each 12-digit HUC.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Fields: subwatershed name, subwatershed HUC, and percent cover in generalized categories, as follows: \"Agricultural\" includes pasture and cultivated area; \"Forest\" and \"Wetland\" includes all types within those broader categories (e.g. evergreen, decidious, etc); \"Other\" includes water and barren land; and \"Developed\" includes all gradations (high density, low density, etc). <\/SPAN><\/P>

The field \"area_sqmi\" is the area (in square miles) of the entire 12-digit HUC. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Land cover information (2011-era) is summarized for each subwatershed in Michigan.", "title": "EgleSde.EGLESDEADMIN.LandCoverSummaryInformationByHUC12", "tags": [ "Land Cover", "Michigan", "EGLE", "Boundaries", "Water Resources Division" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Molly Rippke, Water Resources Division, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).\n\nData Source: NOAA, 2011.
