Data are intended for use in rural areas and therefore do not include land cover in cities and towns. Land cover classes (tree cover, other land cover, or water) were mapped using an object-based image analysis approach and supervised classification. These data are designed for conducting geospatial analyses and for producing cartographic products. In particular, these data are intended to depict the ___location of tree cover in the county. The mapping procedures were developed specifically for agricultural landscapes that are dominated by annual crops, rangeland, and pasture and where tree cover is often found in narrow configurations, such as windbreaks and riparian corridors. Because much of the tree cover in agricultural areas of the United States occurs in windbreaks and narrow riparian corridors, many geospatial datasets derived from coarser-resolution satellite data (such as Landsat), do not capture these landscape features. This dataset is intended to address this particular data gap. These data can be downloaded by county at the Forest Service Research Data Archive. Nebraska: https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/catalog/RDS-2019-0038 South Dakota: https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/catalog/RDS-2022-0068 North Dakota: https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/catalog/RDS-2022-0067 A Kansas dataset was also developed using the same methods and is located at: Kansas data download: https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/catalog/RDS-2019-0052 Kansas map service: https://data-usfs.hub.arcgis.com/documents/high-resolution-tree-cover-of-kansas-2015-map-service/explore
