MassGIS 2016 land cover/land use dataset does not conform to the classification schemes of previous land use data from <br /> MassGIS(1971-1999;2005)and therefore not included for comparison purposes in Table 5-3- <br /> b. The Historical Land Use dataset(1971-1999) uses a different methodology from the 2005 land use data and therefore not <br /> strictly comparable. <br /> Table 5-2 below provides a breakdown of land cover based on Massachusetts Geographic Information <br /> System (MassGIS) 2005 Land Use data.This data set documents land area covered by forests,wetlands, <br /> impervious surfaces, agriculture, and other land and water classifications. <br /> 11 <br /> m w w <br /> mi <br /> � ����wi� <br /> Cranberry Bog: <br /> Both active and recently inactive cranberry bogs and the sandy <br /> areas adjacent to the bogs are used in the growing process. io8.32 <br /> Impervious features associated with cranberry bogs such as parking <br /> lots and machinery are included. <br /> Pasture: <br /> Fields and associated facilities(barns and other outbuildings)are 2.54 <br /> Agriculture used for animal grazing and the growing of grasses for hay. <br /> Cropland: <br /> Generally,tilled land is used to grow row crops.
