This is a seven-category land-cover map of the Plum Island Sound estuary, Massachusetts. The seven categories are: water, tidal flats and soils, Spartina alterniflora, Spartina patens, trees, grass, impervious surface.
These medium resolution true color images are considered the new "basemap" for the Commonwealth by MassGIS. The photography for the entire commonwealth was captured in April 2005 when deciduous trees were mostly bare and the ground was generally free of snow. Image type is 4-band (RGBN) natural color (Red, Green, Blue) and Near infrared in 8 bits (values ranging 0-255) per band format.
