All polygons have been classified based on their land use. N/A N/A This shapefile was started by with the union of La Crosse county taxparcels (2004), DNR hydo, and a 33-foot buffer of the road centerlines. Using the methodology described below along with, aerial photographs (2000), and field analysis (2004), land use was determined for La Crosse County. Land Use Methodology 1. Minimum Mapping Unit will be 100 by 100 feet. This will be used when deciding if a land use, such as woodlands, should be separated from an adjacent land use or included with the adjacent land use. 2. A 1:3000 scale will be maintained while digitizing. 3. All digitizing will be completed with reference to the 1992 DOQ. The rectified 2000 photos will be continually viewed and checked against the 92 DOQ for any variations between the images. 4. We will digitize and identify polygons based on the 2000 photos. Subdivisions that are shown on the tax parcel shapefile but are not shown on the 2000 aerial photos will be field checked. 5. A bookmark of a location will be created if a question of a land use arises. The bookmark will be brought to another team member's attention within an adequate amount of time. 6. At the end of every work day a backup file will be created for northeast_lu and southeast_lu shapefiles and saved in a folder titled backup. There will consistently be four backup files and the oldest, or 5th file, will be deleted daily. 7. The hydro polygons, from the DNR will be used for coding all areas of water. If the air photo shows a shoreline which is not dynamic and the hydro layer does not line up accurately, then the 2000 air photo will be used for digitizing shoreline. 8. The roads buffer will define the borders of all roads except for the interstate. All polygons near the road buffer will be allotted categories of adjacent polygons. 9. We will log daily activities, and once a week these activities will be recorded into a weekly report. Land Use: 1000 Residential Includes activities that occur in all types of residential uses, structures, ownership characteristics, or the character of the development. The residential land use will include mowed yards.
