To constrain the mapping of tile drained areas to cropland, we ingested a cropland mask (Fig. 1b) derived from NLCD 201635 into the geospatial model. Since tile drainage mapping by the geospatial model is mainly based on the county-level census estimate, soil drainage categories, and topographic slope, a cropland mask is necessary to mask out non-agricultural lands. The “cultivated cropland” category from NLCD 2016 was used to define the cropland mask, and cells or grids that were not cropland were masked out of the drainage category raster and slope raster by the geospatial model before mapping the tile drainage areas.
