The Land Cover Map of Catalonia




About the MCSC

The Land Cover Map of Catalonia (MCSC) is a high-resolution thematic cartography of the main types of land cover (forests, crops, urbanized areas, etc.). The MCSC is held at the Center for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications (CREAF), with funding from the Generalitat de Catalunya.

The MCSC is part of the Cartography available on the internet of the Generalitat de Catalunya and is, therefore, free to use.

The MCSC is presented in digital format. The different surfaces are made by photointerpretation and digitization on a computer screen, using the GIS MiraMon .
