Description
Abstract
Steep & severe slopes for Prince George's County, Maryland

Purpose
This is a cover obtained from Advance Technology Solutions, Inc. (ATS) under a 1994 contract to create a countywide coverage for all slopes using the DEM data obtained from ASI in 1993 and 1994. The data was created using ARC/TIN and included percent slope to 0.1 percent, slope aspect, slope area, slope range and slope color for mapping. 

Due to the size of the data files it was not practical to place all the data on the GIS. The 21 covers which comprised the county were each dissolved using the slope range attribute thus creating covers with four slope range categories. Two of those categories the steep slopes (15 to 25 percent slopes) and severe slopes (slopes greater than 25 percent) are used during environmental analysis of sites and are of particular importance.

This layer was created by Advance Technology Solutions, Inc.
