The Pacific Northwest Ecosystem Research Consortium Willamette River
Basin Map is a high resolution land cover map of the Willamette basin
using 1988 and 1992 LANDSAT Thematic Mapper data combined with ground
reference data from a variety of sources, but primarily from aerial
photography interpretation. The product of this effort is a thematic
digital map of 35 land use/land cover classes.

Description
Abstract:
This data set is an ARC/Info GRID layer or Imagine8.3 image file of 35
Land Use/Land Cover classes within the Willamette River Basin, Oregon.
The cover classes depict the forest, natural, agricultural, and urban
conditions of the entire basin.
Purpose:
To provide a highly accurate, high spatial resolution vegetation cover
digital image of the Willamette River Basin for use in forest & wildlife
management and regional ecology studies.
Supplemental_Information:
Procedures_Used:
Five different LANDSAT Thematic Mapper images from 1992 were interpreted
for spectral variation and labelled using ground reference data from a
variety of sources. For details, see http://www.fsl.orst.edu/larse/wrb/wrb.html.
Supplemental_Information:
Revisions:
This version of the Willamette River Basin map is an earlier version of
Version 4.

Source_Contribution: The map was constructed entirely from
LANDSAT TM imagery, which was acquired from the USGS EROS Data Center
in Sioux Falls, SD. To train and test the imagery, we used a wide
variety of ground reference data sets, including GIS coverages, aerial
photographs, and field visits and test plots.
