Extract By Mask Errors NLCD

LandscapeArchiMapper

I am trying to clip NLCD land cover data by the shape of Utah. I projected the Utah shapefile to the projection of the NLCD data and ran polygon to raster to match the cell size and convert the shp to a tif. 

When I extract by mask, the output does not preserve the NLCD land cover classes and the output shows up as a band. The attribute table is the same as the original NLCD - the counts of the Land Cover Classes are the same but it should only be counting the cells within the Utah raster. These are the settings in my extract by mask:

Input raster: nlcd_2004_land_cover.img

Input raster or feature mask data: Utah_Raster

Output raster: nlcd_lc_04

Extraction Area: Inside

Extent (and Output) Coordinate System: Albers Conical Equal Area

Cell Size: Maximum of Inputs

 

Any ideas on what might be the issue? Thanks in advance!

Hi @LandscapeArchiMapper,

Have you tried running the Extract By Mask tool with Utah shapefile instead of raster? Also for getting the same symbology you can try using Apply Symbology From Layer tool, in the tool provide the output of Extract By Mask tool as Input Layer and provide the NLCD unclipped raster as Symbology Layer.

Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
