Anne Arundel County, Maryland is interested in monitoring its changing land cover for planning, zoning and environmental protection purposes. The county is under increasing development pressure and needs to maintain an accurate land cover database so it may guide development in a sustainable way from both economic and environmental perspectives. The land cover layer was designed and built as a continuation of hand-digitized layers compiled in the 1990s. The current layer was completed using primarily automated methods and current high-resolution aerial imagery (6 inch resolution, leaf-off), as a comparison for cost and accuracy to the earlier automated and manually-produced datasets. This version was updated in 2020 using 4-band aerial imagery collected in the spring of 2020 by the State of Maryland.

In 1984, the General Assembly enacted the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Act to regulate development, manage land use and conserve natural resources on land in those areas designated as Critical Area. For this document, the Critical Area is all land and water areas within 1,000 feet of the tidal waters' edge or from the landward edge of adjacent tidal wetlands and the lands under them. Georeferenced digital data files of the critical Area have been produced for Baltimore City and the 16 Maryland counties with land located within the Critical Area. The digital maps produced for each jurisdiction are polygons depicting the Critical Area and the land use classifications recognized by the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Commission (CBCAC). Each jurisdiction is a separate file. The data were produced from hard copy parcel maps originally submitted by the counties as part of the requirements for developing their Critical Area Program. For the purpose of the Mdimap web service the Critical Area Data is displayed by two data layers, one general layer and one layer showing the available critical area data for local towns.This data set represents the Department of Natural Resources interpretation of the location and extent of the Critical Area; however, the digital maps are not recognized as the "official" maps. In accordance with Subsection 8-1807(a) of the Critical Area Act, the Critical Area consists of (1) All waters and lands under the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries to the head of tide as indicated on the State wetland maps, and all State and private wetlands designated under Environment Article, Title 16, annotated Code of Maryland; (2) All land and water areas within 1,000 feet beyond the landward boundaries of State or private wetlands and the of tides designated under Environment Article, Article 16, Annotated Code of Maryland; and (3) Modification to these areas through inclusions or exclusions proposed by local jurisdictions and approved by Commission as specified in Natural Resources Article, Subsection 8-1807, annotated Code of Maryland. These maps are hard copy maps that cannot be exactly replicated in a digital format; therefore, some interpretation was necessary to create the digital line. Hard copy maps depicting the official Critical Area boundary line are available for review at the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Commission, and at most local planning and zoning departments.

The liability of the Department of Natural Resources for damage regardless of the form of the action shall not exceed any distribution fees that may have been paid in obtaining Spatial Data.There were many parties involved in producing Maryland's Critical Area data and the key parties will be listed. Each county and city (listed below) produced a hard copy map and submitted the map to the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Commission (CBCAC) for approval. Through Coastal Zone Management grants, CBCAC digitized the county data. Maryland DNR's Chesapeake and Coastal Watershed Service finalized the data and is handling data distribution.

Land use for long-term Rhode River study watersheds. Used ARC/INFO to trace land use patches from 1984 1:2400 b/w aerial photos. The resulting coverage was geographically referenced using control points from 1:2400 topographic maps. The photos and maps were both obtained from the Anne Arundel County Office of Planning and Zoning. Updated the coverage from 1991 ARCINFO land use coverage and 1993 color slides. Verified land use in all patches observable on the ground.

Growth Tiers for Anne Arundel County from Plan2040: Anne Arundel County General Development PlanPer State requirements, counties that have adopted a Growth Tier Map must incorporate it into the comprehensive plan for the Growth Tier Map to remain adopted for purposes of §9–206 of the Environment Article. The original Growth Tiers Map was officially certified in July 2013 by the Planning and Zoning Officer. In accordance with State Law, the Growth Tiers Map has been included in Plan2040 and has been updated consistent with the governing criteria.Growth Tier Governing CriteriaGrowth Tier I:Areas served by public sewer systems (Existing Sewer Service Category in the Water and Sewer Master Plan), and Areas within a designated Targeted Development, Redevelopment, or Revitalization Area (Growth Areas).Growth Tier IA:Areas served by public sewer systems (Existing Sewer Service Category in the Water and Sewer Master Plan), and Areas located outside of a designated Targeted Development, Redevelopment, or Revitalization Area (Growth Areas).Growth Tier II:Areas planned to be served by public sewer systems (Planned or Future Sewer Service Category in the Water and Sewer Master Plan), and Areas within a designated Targeted Development, Redevelopment, or Revitalization Area (Growth Areas).Growth Tier IIA:Areas planned to be served by public sewer systems (Planned or Future Sewer Service Category in the Water and Sewer Master Plan), andAreas located outside of a designated Targeted Development. Redevelopment, or Revitalization Area (Growth Areas).Growth Tier III:Areas not planned for public sewer service (No Public Sewer Service Category in the Water and Sewer Master Plan), and Areas that are generally planned and zoned for large lot or rural residential uses.Growth Tier IV:Areas not planned for public sewer service (No Public Sewer Service Category in the Water and Sewer Master Plan), and Areas that are generally planned or zoned for land, agricultural or resource protection or preservation; and are dominated by agricultural lands, forest lands, or other natural areas; or are rural legacy areas, priority preservation areas, or areas subject to covenants, restrictions, conditions or conservation easements for the benefit of, or held by a State agency or a local jurisdiction for the purpose of conserving natural resources or agricultural land. Note that the Tier IV designation, as well as the Conservation, Parks and Open Space and Rural Land Use categories, are broader and more general designations than the Resource Sensitive Policy Area Overlay, which is based on the most recent data for specific features and is applied Countywide.
