Figure 24

High-Resolution Data from the Panchromatic Band of Landsat 7

This is a high-resolution (15m resolution) image of a small area that underwent drastic vegetation increases from 1976-1980 (as shown in Figure 23). While this data was acquired twenty years later, it helps elucidate the land uses in the earlier images by allowing for far better spatial resolution of ground features and some sense of the size of individual agricultural plots.
