This map shows the current land cover in the northern Lakes States at a 30 meter resolution.  It is based on Classified Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data.  The area displayed includes portions of the Lake States where remotely sensed TM imagery has been classified within the ecoregion known as Province 212 - Laurentian mixed forest.  National Forest proclamation boundaries are displayed however actual federal ownership is interspersed with other state, private, and industrial land holdings within these proclamation boundaries.
