The dataset classifies land into distinct categories such as forest, grassland, agriculture, urban/built-up, water bodies, wetlands, and barren land, based on version the Anderson Land Use/Land Cover classification adopted by Penn State University (Land Analysis Lab) for the Chesapeake Bay Basin Land Cover/Land Use Monitoring and Assessment Study. It is intended to support environmental monitoring, land use planning, resource management, and ecological analysis. The data has been processed using remote sensing and GIS techniques, ensuring accurate georeferencing and classification. This layer is suitable for use in regional to local-scale analyses and can be integrated with other spatial datasets for multi-criteria decision-making. This data was last updated in 2003.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/6f492cf21c044520bd65aa6b11098c94_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>York County, PA GIS Open Data Portal</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>2003 Anderson Landuse/Landcover [Pennsylvania--York County]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Pennsylvania--York County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Pennsylvania</dc:coverage><dc:date>2003</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
