GCIP/EOP Land Characterization: USGS Land Use and Land Cover Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.075

Summary
The Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) data files describe the vegetation, water,
natural surface, and cultural features on the land surface. The United States
Geological Survey (USGS) provides these data sets and associated maps as a
part of its National Mapping Program. The LULC mapping program is designed so
that standard topographic maps of a scale of 1:250,000 can be used for
compilation and organization of the land use and land cover data. In some
cases, such as Hawaii, 1:100,000 scale maps are also used.
