I came across this article covering 12 different sources of land use and land cover datasets.

"The land cover indicates the physical land type such as forest or open water whereas land use documents how people are using the land.

Land cover data documents how much of a region is covered by forests, wetlands, impervious surfaces, agriculture, and other land and water types. Water types include wetlands or open water. Land use shows how people use the landscape – whether for development, conservation, or mixed uses. The different types of land cover can be managed or used quite differently."
