Abstract:
Land cover data for the Centennial Valley in Montana. Data is based on a July 2005 Landsat TM image.
Purpose:
This project was funded by The Nature Conservancy to provide baseline vegetation cover data as an input in a invasive plant species modeling project. Land cover types were generalized to coarser levels in the product given to The Nature Conservancy.
