Abstract

GOMLC7 provides land cover data from five interpretations of Landsat data and wetland cover. Photo-interpretations were combined to yield a 31-class raster (grid) digital dataset, "GOMLC7", for the Gulf of Maine watershed. Themes of higher resolution or data quality were overlaid on more generic or older data to produce a product having best available interpretation for each cover class. This is projected as UTM zone 19, NAD83, dimensions in meters, and has a 30m cell size. For more information about the USFW Gulf of Maine Program and a CD of data from the Gulf of Maine Watershed Habitat Analysis plus supplemental information about GOMLC7 see: http://gulfofmaine.fws.gov/ and http://r5gomp.fws.gov/gom/habitatstudy/metadata/Landcover_Data_Methods.htm

Purpose

The data is available in the Maine GIS Data Catalog, by county map extent, in colormap embedded GeoTIFF format with a supplemental gomlc.jpg for quickview; and GRID format, with a full schema colormap gomlc7clrmp.txt, and ArcGIS .lyr file gomlc7.lyr. These data are also available in statewide map extent from MEGIS.SDE and from USFWS on CD, see point of contact below.

Supplemental Information

The data is available in the Maine GIS Data Catalog in colormap embedded GeoTIFF format with a supplemental gomlc7.jpg. GRID format, a full schema colormap gomlc7.txt, ArcView .avl, and ArcGIS .lyr files are also available from MEGIS and from USFW, see point of contact below.

Use Constraints

This map may not accurately portray land cover at a local scale, or most recent conditions; it is intended for use in identifying habitat suitability. This information is meant to be used for habitat protection in the Gulf of Maine watershed as identified by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Please note these data do not represent all important habitat for all USFWS trust species. For instance, additional habitat information exists for Maine coastal nesting seabird islands and Atlantic Salmon habitat. Also, please be aware that other information regarding important habitat may exist in your area of interest and you are encouraged to contact the appropriate agencies or organizations for that information, for example Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Maine Natural Areas Program, The Nature Conservancy. Users must assume responsibility in determining the usability of this data for their purposes. Digital maps retain the accuracy of their source materials. The best use of data mapped at scales of 1:500,000 and 1:250,000 is in statewide planning and studies; at 1:100,000 in regional planning and studies; at 1:62,500 and 1:24,000 in detailed studies and local planning; and at 1:12,000 and 1:5,000 or larger scales in parcel level studies and detailed local planning. In the use of Maine GIS data, please check sources, scale, accuracy, currentness and other available information. Please confirm that you are using the correct copy of both data and metadata from the Maine GIS Data Catalog.

Attribute Accuracy Report

This raster data set has potential errors due to misinterpretation of land cover and spatial location.

Logical Consistency Report

This raster data set is based on other data sets, variably field checked for accuracy. Best available data were selected from the sources. GOMLC7 data is available from the Maine Office of GIS Data Catalog for Maine counties in GeoTIFF format at http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/. A .jpeg file is included in the download to display the colors and the classification descriptions represented. MEGIS GeoTIFFs for this dataset contain an embedded colormap of USFW/GOM assigned colors for the full classification. GRID format a full schema colormap gomlc7.txt, ArcView .avl and ArcGIS .lyr files are also available from MEGIS and from USFW, see point of contact below.

Completeness Report

Data set is complete.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report

Data set accuracy may correspond to that of the 1:24,000 base data used to align the raster data. Warping of the data sets was used to reduce maximum error to approximately 1 cell (30 m).

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value

Process Description

Land cover sources were reclassed to conform with the CCAP data, spatially adjusted to optimize correspondence with 1:24,000 data, and merged, selecting the superior classes where data overlapped. Then NWI data were reclassed (simplified) and overlaid on the land cover; see <http://r5gomp.fws.gov/gom/habitatstudy/metadata/gomlc7.htm >.

Entity and Attribute Overview

Entity and Attribute Detail Citation

The ArcView shapefile and ArcGIS geodatabase formats, commonly used for Maine GIS data, carry default identifiers and attributes that are software generated and/or important for internal recordkeeping. These are listed here to avoid repetition for every layer, and may not be repeated in the attribute descriptions and definitions of each layer. Common software generated identifiers and attributes in Maine GIS data include: FID (feature identifier), Shape (feature geometry), OBJECTID and SHAPE_lengt. In addition, most GIS formats will carry fields for PERIMETER, AREA and/or LENGTH according to feature geometry. These fields are typically available by default, with the units based on coordinate system or projection units of GIS data. Most GIS software packages also provide a means to calculate these values. It is important to test any columns containing PERIMETER, AREA or LENGTH values before using them for analysis purposes. These important values can be carried from format to format and become out-dated. Verify that the values are correct. Also, in your GIS software, please view the properties of data layers for the map units used to calculate these fields, and for the units set for display purposes.

Format Information Content

TIFF image format is in widespread use in the desktop publishing world. It serves as an interface to several scanners and graphic arts packages. TIFF supports black-and-white, grayscale, pseudo color, and true color images, all of which can be stored in a compressed or decompressed format. TIFF images may contain georeferencing information in header tags, or a .tfw file, defined by the GeoTIFF standard. ArcGIS currently supports GeoTIFF tags.
