  • Summary Data, 1984 to present: Provides an overview of land use conversion trends, by county, with tables reporting the acreages in each category by update cycle, total change since mapping was initiated, and annual average change. (XLS)

  • Field Reports describe what the analysts found during the map updating process, and describe which source materials were used.   Data for 2004-2006 is now being released.   (PDF)
