Parts of the following 33 Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes are included: path 34, rows 27-29; path 35, rows 26-29; path 36, rows 27-29; path 37, rows 26-29; path 38, rows 26-29; path 39, rows 26-29; path 40, rows 26-29; path 41, rows 26-28; path 42, rows 26-27; and path 43, row 26. Land cover was classified in a two-step process: unsupervised classification to define patch boundaries and spectral classes, followed by a supervised classification to assign cover type labels. TM bands 1 - 7, elevation, slope, and aspect attributes were used in the supervised classification. In all scenes, irrigated and non-irrigated agriculture, clouds, cloud shadow, urban areas, surface mines, and fires were manually labeled. Parts of this grid were produced in four separate projects. Western Montana and northern Idaho were classified for the U.S. Forest Service, Region One, in a project (FSR1) completed in June 1996. The FSR1 project produced a separate riparian layer, unlike the other three projects where riparian vegetation was included in the overall supervised classification. This separate riparian grid was combined with the other FSR1 grids in order to match the later projects. The Little Missouri and Sheyenne National Grasslands were classified for the Custer National Forest as part of a project (CUSTER) completed in July 1997. The central Idaho project (CICP) was contracted by the U.S. Forest Service, Region Four, and was completed in August 1997. Finally, the eastern Montana project (EMT) was contracted by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and was completed in November 1997. All individual grids within the state of Montana have undergone updates and standardization since the project completion dates in order to have as congruous a coverage throughout the state as possible. Cover types were combined and reduced to 50 types from a total of 94 for use with Gap Analysis. The grid was merged to a 2 ha minimum mapping unit (MMU) for upland cover types and a 90 meter MMU for riparian cover types. Cloud and cloud shadow were merged to 100 ha. Ground-truth data were provided by a variety of organizations for use in the classification process. For more information, please refer to the project's final report: Redmond, R.L., M.M. Hart, J.C.

For the convenience of GAP users, these elements are listed here. Data Set Identity: MTGAPVEG; Raster File Format: ARC/INFO GRID; Raster File Sensor: NA; Vector File Format: NA; Nonspatial File Format: NA; Source Distance Resolution: 90 meters; Raster File Number of Bytes per Pixel: 4; Native Data Structure: Raster. Purpose: These data were produced to map existing land cover in a standardized, consistent manner across the state for use in Montana Gap Analysis (MT-GAP). This land cover grid is suited for analysis at the regional, sub-regional, and landscape levels; it can also provide support for many management disciplines, including timber, wildlife, fisheries, and recreation.

Cover type classification accuracies were estimated for 45 types; these averaged 61.4%, and ranged from 4.4% for Western Hemlock to 93.2% for Missouri Breaks. Interpolation of the mean error estimates at each ground reference point allowed us to map the land cover accuracy across the state. Estimated mean accuracy exceeded 80% in the southwest corner (Beaverhead and Madison Counties) and in the western portion of the Highline in Glacier, Toole, and Pondera Counties; lower estimated accuracies were associated with some of the insular mountain ranges in central Montana from Gallatin County north through Cascade and Judith Basin Counties.
