Chemonics International is the prime contractor for Co ntract No . 306-C-00-03-00502-00 issues by USAID/Afghanistan under theRebuildingAgricultural Markets Program. For more information about th is project, visit our website at www.ramp-af.com.

SOURCES:

1- This Land Cover Map is based on interpretation of Landsat

Thematic Mapper TM satellite imagery of Afghanistan, acquired in

1990 (full coverage) and 1993 (Partial coverage). The interpretation

was assisted through the use of KFA-1000 space photographs of

carious regions of Afghanistan, acquired from 1988 through

to 1992.

2- Topographic base used for this map is derived from

National 1:100,000 scale topographic maps compiled by stereo

photogrammetric method using aerial photographs acquired in the

late 1950s. The projection of this topographic base map is UTM,

and the coverage of each map is 30 minutes of longitude by 20

minutes of latitude.

roads, rivers and place names courtesy of AIMS.
