<abstract>This map is a generalized version of the detailed vegatation map that was prepared in compliance with the National Gap Analysis Program effort. The land cover types were derived from classification techniques performed on Landsat TM imagery. The strip mines/rock quarries/gravel pits class were taken from ancillary data sets and added to the classification file. It should be noted that the pasture/grassland class includes winter wheat, hay, as well as pasture. The forest classes from the land use/land cover file were extracted from the satellite imagery and reclassified. Forest communities were interpreted from aerial videography acquired April 1995 and correlated to the satellite imagery.</abstract>

<purpose>The map provides current information on the geographic location and extent of major land cover types in the state of Tennessee.</purpose>

- <overview>

<dsoverv>Land cover types were derived from classification techniques performed on Landsat TM Imagery. Classification of wetland classes and non-vegetated classes were aided by ancillary data sets. It should be noted that the pasture/grassland class includes winter wheat, hay, as well as pasture. Dates for Landsat TM scenes are listed below; Path 23/Row 36 - 4/22/93 Path 22/Row 34 - 3/9/91 Path 22/Row 35 - 3/9/91 Path 21/Row 35 - 4/5/92 Path 21/Row 36 - 4/5/92 Path 20/Row 35 - 6/28/90 Path 20/Row 36 - 6/12/90 Path 19/Row 35 - 4/23/92 Path 19/Row 36 - 4/23/92 Path 18/Row 34 - 4/27/90 Path 18/Row 35 - 4/27/90</dsoverv>
