This Issue -:*Land Cover Mapping in Mexico /(Part 1/)*//and Some Other 
Good Things.

*LAND COVER MAPPING IN MEXICO /(Part 1)./*This past May. Justin Fisher 
wrote "/I//am looking for a GIS land cover map for Mexico. The more 
recent the better, but will take anything. I am particularly interested 
in areas near (25 km) the coast from the TX border to the tip of the 
Yucatan peninsula."/Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you
