Example of base map with
superimposed land cover information; area shown is to the west of
Aberdeen.
Data from the interpreted air
photograph has been transferred to a 1:25 000 Pathfinder OS map.
Examples of codes include 100: arable land; 70: coniferous woodland;
90: improved pasture; 77: linear line of trees; 20: built up area.

Besides single features
(127) there were
over 1300 mosaics identified where the pattern of cover types was so
complex that individual types could not, at the selected
interpretation scale, be separated. The example shown is of improved
pasture and wetland.
