Mapping Land Use ~ Video

Land Use Editing Tools

To Edit Land Use Layer Use Google Hybrid or similar tile.

If a county is just starting to map their land use, SAVE the Section layer and RENAME it LandUse and set the attributes to the most common.

There are four Land Uses in Oklahoma: Crop, Native Pasture, Improved Pasture and Timber.
