WMS Map: Agricultural Area around Lake Champlain
About Agricultural Area around Lake Champlain ....
I was noticing on the National Land Cover Dataset how relatively narrow the fertile agricultural land around Lake Champlain is on the map. You don't get very far from the lake before the hills and mountains turn the fantastic soil for growing into infertile rock and sand.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.
