Land Use Land Cover for Selected Basins in Clarksburg, Montgomery County, MD
This dataset contains digitized land use/land cover (LULC) for the years 2011, 2015, and 2017. The dataset contains 1-meter resolution raster maps for each year covering the geographic area for six watersheds within and near the Clarksburg Special Protection Area located in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA. The area includes LULC within 500-foot buffered watersheds. Watershed boundaries for Cabin Branch (CB), Crystal Rock (CR), Soper Branch (SB), Tributary 104 (T104), and Tributary 109 (T109) were derived using USGS topographic maps (1:24,000-scale) while Ten Mile Creek (TMC) was derived using Montgomery County, Maryland LiDAR data (1-meter resolution). LULC classes include a water class (10), impervious surface class (20), barren class (30), forest class (40), grass class (70), and agriculture class (80).
