This week in lab we learned more about Land Use/Land Cover classifications and how to map them. We were provided with a digital image of Pascagoula, MS. We were required to identify and label the land use and land cover of the entire image. We did this by using the Editor tool and creating new features (polygons) and then editing the correlating attribute table with the classification codes and descriptions.
As you can see below, there are a variety of uses and land covers just in this small image. They range from residential areas to bays and estuaries. We did this solely on visual interpretation. Each classification is labeled with the appropriate numeric code and a color differentiating it from one another.
