National Land Cover Database Evaluation, Visualization, and Analysis (EVA) Tool

Explore maps and tables documenting landcover changes for most of the United States based on satellite imagery "snapshots" taken over time.

Users can find nationally complete, current, consistent and public domain information on the Nation's land cover. Land cover information is critical for local, state and federal managers and officials to assist them with issues such as assessing ecosystem status and health, modeling nutrient and pesticide runoff, understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity, land use planning, deriving landscape pattern metrics and developing land management policies. All MRLC NLCD data products are available at no charge to the user.
