Summary
The US Geological Survey Chesapeake Bay Watershed Land Cover Data Series, 2011 edition, (CBLCD-e11) consists of Level I Land Cover data for the years 1984, 1992, 2001, 2006 and 2011. It consists of a series of five 8-bit unsigned integer raster data files of 30 meter spatial resolution in Albers Conic Equal Area projection, NAD83 datum. The 1984 – 2006 data layers were created by aggregating most Level II Anderson classes of the USGS CBLCD Land Cover Data Series released in 2010 (Irani and Claggett, 2010).

Purpose
The goal of this project is to provide land cover of the Chesapeake Bay area for use in modeling run-off into the Chesapeake Bay. The Layer (.lyr) files are ESRI files that are associated with their corresponding Image (.img) files under Arc Map that had the color map (.clr) file applied to their symbology to provide an initial set of consistent colors for display of all Land Cover Maps in the CBLCD 2011 Edition Data Release.
