This is a Raster data set. It contains the following raster data types:
The map projection used is Lambert Conformal Conic.
Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest unknown
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest unknown
Planar coordinates are specified in feet
The horizontal datum used is NAD27.
The ellipsoid used is CLARKE1866.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.4 meters.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.98.
Urban and Built-Up Land 1 - High Density (all or most of the surface cover is comprised of ' impervious material) 2 - Medium-High Density (transitional between Medium and High Density; ' located in Cook County only) 3 - Medium Density (a significant proportion of the surface cover ' is comprised of impervious material) 4 - Low Density (small amount of surface area comprised of ' impervious material mixed with other land cover such as ' Grassland, Wooded Land, etc.)
Transportation [ONLY PRESENT IN land2utm] 5 - Major Roadways (Major Highways updated 1992) 6 - Active Railroads (1991) 7 - Abandoned Railroads (1991)
Crop Land 8 - Row Crop (corn, soybeans, and other tilled crops) 9 - Small Grains (wheat, oats, etc.) 10 - Orchards/Nurseries
Grassland 11 - Urban Grassland (parks, residential lawns, golf courses, ' cemeteries, and other open space) 12 - Rural Grassland (pastureland, grassland, waterways, ' buffer strips, CRP land, etc.)
Wooded and Forested Land 13 - Deciduous: undifferentiated broadleaf deciduous, closed canopy 14 - Deciduous: undifferentiated broadleaf deciduous, open canopy 15 - Coniferous: undifferentiated
16 - Open Water 17 - Perennial Streams [ONLY PRESENT IN land2utm]
Wetland 18 - Shallow Marsh/Wet Meadow 19 - Deep Marsh 20 - Forested Wetlands 21 - Swamp 22 - Shallow Water Wetlands
23 - Barren Land (e.g., quarries, sandy beaches, ' exposed soil surfaces, etc.)
This database was completed as an integral part of the Critical Trends Assessment Project. It is intended to serve as a base line for assessment and management of biologic natural resources in Illinois. It is a good medium scale land cover map of the entire state.

No accuracy assessment of the classification has been performed.
Agrees with the 1:100,000 vector layers very well.
All of Illinois is covered. A local filter was run after classification. The threshold used ranged from 2 pixels to 6 pixels.
