The 2005 Kansas Land Cover Patterns map was created at the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program of the Kansas Biological Survey.
Funding Sources: The land cover mapping project was co-funded by the Kansas GIS Policy Board with funds from the Kansas Water Plan that are administered by the Kansas Water Office under the grant titled "Kansas Next-Generation Land Use/Land Cover Mapping Initiative" and the National Science Foundation EPSCoR Program under the research project titled "Understanding and Forecasting Ecological Change: Causes, Trajectories and Consequences of Environmental Change in the Central Plains." |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The 2005 Kansas Land Cover Patterns Level I map represents Phase 1 of a two-phase mapping initiative occurring over a three-year period. The map is designed to be explicitly comparable to the 1990 Kansas Land Cover Patterns map. Using a similar methodology to produce the 2005 Kansas Land Cover Patterns map provides opportunities to identify and examine how the Kansas landscape has changed over a 15-year period. The map contains eleven land use/land cover classes. The positional accuracy and spatial resolution of the map are appropriate for producing 1:50,000 scale maps. The map is not intended to define precise boundaries between landscape features and while the source data has a spatial resolution of 30 m x 30 m, the minimum map unit varies by land cover class and ranges between 0.22 to 5.12 acres (see below). The formal accuracy assessment reports the map to have an overall accuracy level of 90.72%. User and Producer accuracies vary by land cover class and rural classes have higher accuracy levels (88-95%) than urban classes (48-78%). Users are encouraged to reference the reported accuracy levels in this report and/or metadata when using the 2005 Kansas Land Cover Patterns map. Digital versions of the map, metadata, and accuracy assessment can be accessed from the Data Access Support Center (DASC) website of the Kansas Geological Survey (http://www.kansasgis.org/) or the website of the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program (http://kars.ku.edu/).</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
