Land Cover <br />Land cover is calculated for an area within 1000' of the basin (this is considered shoreland) that includes <br />the selected lake feature. Note that the Minnesota LakeBrowser splits some lakes into components. <br />Values are determined using the National Land Cover Database (2016) (NLCD). Additionally, open <br />water within 1000' of the basin is excluded as shorelines change over time. Note that unclassified land <br />cover is common for lakes near the Canadian border as the NLCD does not extend into Canada. <br />In the image below the lake appears as solid blue and dark lines indicate the shoreland buffer. <br />Land Cover (NLCD 2016) <br />Open water <br />Developed.
