National Land Cover Database (NLCD 2001) Multi-zone Download Site

The Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) has completed the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2001 products for the conterminous United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico at 30 m cell resolution. The NLCD 2001 products (land cover, impervious surface and canopy density) were generated from a standardized set of data layers mosaicked by mapping zone. Typical zonal layers included multi-season Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 imagery centered on a nominal collection year of 2001, and Digital Elevation Model based derivatives at 30 meters spatial resolution. NLCD 2001 used an improved classification algorithm from NLCD 1992, resulting in a more precise rendering of spatial boundaries between 16 classes of land cover (additional classes are available in coastal areas and Alaska only). A shapefile with the standard NLCD zones as well as a mutlizone attribute is available for download here.
