Summary

This landuse / landcover (LULC) map displays a basic depiction of the Los Planes watershed in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This simplified, 7-class LULC map displays classes that are useful for hydrologic modeling and broad vegetation mapping in the region. It was created from analysis of six Sentinel-2 satellite images and other existing geospatial datasets. These satellite images are provided at 10-meter spatial resolution and were calibrated for topographic illumination effects to enhance its accuracy in rugged, mountainous terrain like that seen in the watershed. A novel filtering methodology was also applied to minimize the "salt-and-pepper effect" from the principle component analysis (PCA) and image classification methodology. [...]

Purpose

This map was created to be used as a base layer in hydrologic modeling of all or portions of the Los Planes watershed. It can also be used as a basic landuse / landcover (LULC) map to gain a general overview of the geography and vegetation of this watershed. This LULC map was created as a deliverable in the “Research in the Los Planes Watershed – Water Cycle Augmentation | U.S. Geological Survey(usgs.gov)” project.
