WMS Map: Connecticut Land Cover
About Connecticut Land Cover ....
Connecticut is less agricultural then you might think, but it's also less developed too. Most of the farming activity occurs in the northwest corner of state, along with a very fertile crop land in the Connecticut Valley north of Hartford. Do zoom in further to explore in more detail.
