| Abstract: | Anderson Level 1 landuse data is compiled for the whole watershed of the Plum Island Sound Estuary. The whole watershed of the Plum Island Sound Estuary is the sum of the Parker, Rowley and Ipswich River watersheds. Anderson Level 1 landuse classifications are: built, agriculture, range, forest, water, wetland and barren. Data is presented in square kilometers and percent of total watershed. |
