    • EnviroAtlas - 2019 Land Cover Proportions by 12-digit HUC for the Conterminous United States

    Metadata Updated: August 30, 2023

    This EnviroAtlas dataset represents the percentage of land area that is classified as natural, forest, wetland, agricultural, and developed land cover using the 2019 National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) for each 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) in the conterminous United States.

    This dataset was produced the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).
