Summary
Abstract: This digital data set contains land cover classifications (for the Upper
Kuskokwim River Resource Management Area, Alaska) was derived from Landsat 4
MSS data, and elevation, slope and aspect data derived from DEM data. Data can
be keyed on a U.S. Geological Survey 1:250,000 quadrangle. Data source is
Landsat 4 MSS data and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. The data set
contains 21 records. Storage required varies by storage medium and selected
area. The file structure is sequential. Data are available online.

General area covered: 634' north to 15657' west to 6515' north to 16053' west.
Dataset was developed through a cooperative program between the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and the U.S. Geological Survey.
