Chicago Metropolitan Agency for PlanningThis file is a digital geospatial Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS File Geodatabase Polygon Feature Class representing land use in the seven northeastern Illinois counties (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will). Land use is identified to 60 categories, and was created using county parcel GIS boundaries and Assessor data, along with color orthorectificed aerial photography captured in April, 2010. Land uses were assigned to parcels using a combination of automated and manual techniques, using a variety of reference data sets for land use identification and validation. Parcels were then dissolved on common land uses (to the limits of PLS sections or assessor blocks); polygons were generated for "non-parcel" (water, right-of-way) areas and classified using automated processes, and extnesive topological cleaning was necessary to minimize gap/overlap issues.

Additionally, the classification scheme was rewritten to accommodate the parcel approach; see the "comparison guide" link above for inter-inventory analysis guidance.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/4bee58b2146b467f8a4a7d694bf8105c_0engCMAP (Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning) Data HubPublic2010 Land Use Inventory for Northeastern Illinois [Illinois--Chicago]Web servicesIllinois--ChicagoIllinois2010
