Abstract:
The simplified classification of Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) land use map is created by combining the original land use categories into 5 major classes - urban, agriculture, recreation, desert, and other. This has been done for land use/land cover monitoring purposes and to compare the 2000 land use map with historic land use layers including the 1995 MAG land use map.
