The Land Use & Cover map and data is used to show development trends on the landscape in Maryland. The Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) created the first Land Use/Land Cover map in 1973 and updated it in 2002 and 2010.

This is a MD iMAP hosted service layer. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov. The purpose of the 2010 land use/land cover data set is to provide a generalized view of how developed land has changed throughout the state - primarily capturing the conversion of resource land to development and characterizing the type of development (e.g. very low density - low density - medium density or high density residential development - commercial - industrial - institutional). Urban Land Uses: 11 Low-density residential - Detached single-family/duplex dwelling units - yards and associated areas. Areas of more than 90 percent single-family/duplex dwelling units - with lot sizes of less than five acres but at least one-half acre (.2 dwelling units/acre to 2 dwelling units/acre). 12 Medium-density residential - Detached single-family/duplex - attached single-unit row housing - yards - and associated areas. Areas of more than 90 percent single-family/duplex units and attached single-unit row housing - with lot sizes of less than one-half acre but at least one-eighth acre (2 dwelling units/acre to 8 dwelling units/acre). 13 High-density residential - Attached single-unit row housing - garden apartments - high-rise apartments/condominiums - mobile home and trailer parks; areas of more than 90 percent high-density residential units - with more than 8 dwelling units per acre. 14 Commercial - Retail and wholesale services. Areas used primarily for the sale of products and services - including associated yards and parking areas. 15 Industrial - Manufacturing and industrial parks - including associated warehouses - storage yards - research laboratories - and parking areas. 16 Institutional - Elementary and secondary schools - middle schools - junior and senior high schools - public and private colleges and universities - military installations (built-up areas only - including buildings and storage - training - and similar areas) - churches - medical and health facilities - correctional facilities - and government offices and facilities that are clearly separable from the surrounding land cover. 17 Extractive - Surface mining operations - including sand and gravel pits - quarries - coal surface mines - and deep coal mines. Status of activity (active vs. abandoned) is not distinguished. 18 Open urban land - Urban areas whose use does not require structures - or urban areas where non-conforming uses characterized by open land have become isolated. Included are golf courses - parks - recreation areas (except areas associated with schools or other institutions) - cemeteries - and entrapped agricultural and undeveloped land within urban areas. 191 Large lot subdivision (agriculture) - Residential subdivisions with lot sizes of less than 20 acres but at least 5 acres - with a dominant land cover of open fields or pasture. 192 Large lot subdivision (forest) - Residential subdivisions with lot sizes of less than 20 acres but at least 5 acres - with a dominant land cover of deciduous - evergreen or mixed forest. Agriculture: 21 Cropland - Field crops and forage crops. 22 Pasture - Land used for pasture - both permanent and rotated; grass. 23 Orchards/vineyards/horticulture - Areas of intensively managed commercial bush and tree crops - including areas used for fruit production - vineyards - sod and seed farms - nurseries - and green houses. 24 Feeding operations - Cattle feed lots - holding lots for animals - hog feeding lots - poultry houses - and commercial fishing areas (including oyster beds). 241 Feeding operations - Cattle feed lots - holding lots for animals - hog feeding lots - poultry houses. 242 Agricultural building breeding and training facilities - storage facilities - built-up areas associated with a farmstead - small farm ponds - commercial fishing areas. 25 Row and garden crops - Intensively managed truck and vegetable farms and associated areas. Forest: 41 Deciduous fore

Population Projections for Maryland and the jurisdictions - historical population 1970-2010; projections out to 2040. Projections prepared by the Maryland Department of Planning, July 2014

Population density for Maryland's jurisdictions relies on two different data sources from the U.S. Census Bureau: intercensal population data (2010-2020) and the Population Estimates Program (vintage series) for the 2020–2024 period. In both instances, the population is divided by the jurisdiction's total square miles. The vintage sources will be replaced annually with new releases.

The Rural Legacy Program provides the focus and funding necessary to protect large - contiguous tracts of land and other strategic areas from sprawl development and to enhance natural resource - agricultural - forestry and environmental protection through cooperative efforts among state and local governments and land trusts. Protection is provided through the acquisition of easements and fee estates from willing landowners and the supporting activities of Rural Legacy Sponsors and local governments.This file consists of properties that have been protected using Rural Legacy funds. In the case of a project with multiple parcels - the Identify results will indicate the total acreage and BPW amount for the project. Hence - you will see the same acreage - BPW amount and TEA result for each part of the project.
