The GAP Land Cover data set contains several categories that represent human land use: Current and Historic Mining Activity, Developed Urban, Herbaceous Agricultural Vegetation and Recently Disturbed or Modified.

The GAP GIS layer has been clipped to the boundary of the SRLCC. There is also an Excel table showing each category's percent of the total SRLCC area.

This dataset compiles land ownership and management data from state and federal agencies to create a map showing ownership, management, and conservation status of all land in Alaska.

The most common classification, developed by the USGS GAP Program (www.gap.uidaho.edu), classifies land management types into four conservation status categories according to the degree to which the land is explicitly managed for conservation. In general, conservation status 1...
