Land-Cover Map of the North Slope of Alaska
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS020

Summary
This ArcInfo map provides a spatially explicit representation of the nature
and distribution of land cover and tundra types on the North Slope of Alaska.
This was done in support of extrapolating ecosystem models developed in the
Kuparuk to the North Slope.
