- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This polygon shapefile ("wlc_key.shp") can be used to load an ArcView3.x map legend that explains the Level2 land cover classification illustrated by the Wisconsin Land Cover image (level 2) data set. An ArcView 3.x legend file ("wlc_lev2_pc.avl"), intended for use with the legend shapefile, and instructions for use, accompany the legend shapefile.
- Purpose:
-
The Land Cover legend shapefile is not intended for display. It serves strictly as a means of loading the land cover level 2 classification symbols into ArcView3.x. If drawn to the screen, the map legend key shapefile has the appearance of a set of vertically stacked boxes which draw below the land cover map.
