Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
This dataset contains boundaries for land use and land cover polygons in New Mexico at a scale of 1:250,000. It is in a vector digital data structure. The source software was Optional DLG-3 and the conversion software was ARC/INFO 6.1.2. For documentation refer to USGS Data Users Guide 4, National Mapping Program, Technical Instructions, 1986, Reston, VA. These data are processed in 1:250,000 scale map units, therefore file size varies for each map unit. chaco Mesa was processed at 1:100,000 scale.
