LCMAP land cover products provide information about land cover classification, including land cover classification information for a given area before and after change is detected by Continuous Change Detection and Classification. The five land cover products are built on broad Anderson Land Cover Classification System Level 1 based classes.

Below you'll find answers to common questions about USGS Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP).
