A validation assessment of Land Cover Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection Collection 1.2 annual land cover products (1985–2018) for the Conterminous United States was conducted with an independently collected reference dataset. Reference data land cover attributes were assigned by trained interpreters for each year of the time series (1984–2018) to a reference sample of 26,971 Landsat resolution (30m x 30m) pixels. The LCMAP and reference dataset labels for each pixel location are displayed here for each year, 1985–2018.
