Land Cover

Learn what has been growing on selected land.

Land Cover (formerly Crop History) can be viewed within the Insights Panel for any selected boundaries, within our customizable Property Report, or on the Property Summary for a single parcel. 

To view Land Cover within the Insights panel, follow these steps:

  1. Start by making a selection on the map.
  2. On the left navigation bar click Insights > Land Cover.
    1. A new panel will appear showing a radial chart and legend for the type of land cover (crops, trees, development, grasses, wetlands, etc.) on the selected land.
    2. The colors as outlined in the legend will be overlaid on the map.
    3. The layer will be shown (in a lighter color) on the entire map but only the selected parcel or parcels are given a calculated breakdown. 
    4. Note that for calculations, boundary selections must be less than 150 square miles or 96,000 acres in size or distance.
  3. To view the available land cover history, scroll and click on the desired year — this will show the coverage breakdown for that year and change the overlay on the map.
