The layer shows LULC (Land Use/Land Cover) for 96 Vermont lakes, mapped within a 600-meter buffer around each lake. It also includes LULC for 14 lakes mapped within a 100-ft (30.479 m) buffer. The additional 14 lakes (05/2010) are a subset of 51 lakes randomly selected by Water Quality VTDEC in order to statistically draw conclusion about the health of VT's lakes; 21 were mapped during the 2009 Wildife Action Plan. The remaining 16 randomly selected lakes are included in this dataset. The layers features are mapped using an Anderson Level 1 classification scheme (Anderson et al, 1976), with selected classes further refined to Levels 2 and 3, resulting in 14 classes.
Double-click a Lake's placemark to zoom into its shoreline area. At 64K scale, the LULC mapping will "turn-on" after a few seconds. Everytime you move your view within Google Earth, the content will refresh and return only those features within the view. |
