- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains the Florida subset of the National Waterway Network. The National Waterway Network is a comprehensive network database of the nation's navigable waterways. The nominal scale of the dataset varies with the source material. The majority of the information is at 1:100,000 with larger scales used in harbor/bay/port areas and smaller scales used in open waters. This is an update to the btsww_2013 layer.
- Purpose:
-
The National Waterway Network is a geographic database
of navigable waterways in and around the United States,
for analytical studies of waterway performance, for compiling
commodity flow statistics, and for mapping purposes.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Links in the waterway network represent actual shipping
lanes or serve as representative paths in open water
where no defined shipping lanes exist. Nodes may
represent physical entities such as river confluences,
ports/facilities, and intermodal terminals, US Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE nodes), or may be inserted for
analytical purposes. Approximately 180 USACE ports are
geo-coded in the node database.

The National Waterway Network was created on behalf of
the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the U.S. Coast
Guard by Vanderbilt University and Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. Additional agencies with input into network
development include Volpe National Transportation Systems
Center, Maritime Administration, Military Traffic Management
Command, Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, and the Federal Railroad Administration.

The "shape source" field in the link database, and the "node source"
field in the node database indicate the data sources used to derive link
and node placements. The accuracy of each network element is
correlated to the data source used to derive that element. For example,
links and nodes derived from 1:100,000 scale DLGs are more accurate
than links and nodes derived from 1:500,000 scale NOAA Navigational
Charts. Links with unknown/missing sources are usually schematic
representations of USACE links. Off-Shore: NOAA Charts vary in scale.
Larger scale charts were used in harbor/port areas, while smaller scale
charts were used in open water. For channels, sea lanes, and
Intracoastal Waterways, shape points were placed as needed to ensure
that link segments fall within waterway boundaries. Inland: Links digitized
from 1:100,000 DLG files, or large scale NOAA charts are the most
accurate representations. Shape points were placed as needed to ensure
that link segments fall between waterway shorelines. Links derived from
Corps milepoints have shape points approximately one mile apart. The
Corps milepoints were mainly derived from 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 scale
maps. Therefore, the shape points derived from Corps milepoints are often
as accurate as shape points derived from 1:100,000 DLG files. However,
line segments connecting the shape points may not accurately represent
the curvature of the waterway.

- Process_Description:
-
Merging of inland and offshore waterway networks. A specialized
program was written to merge the two networks. In general,
Vanderbilt node locations were accepted as authoritative when
both data sets had the same elements. This meant moving an Oak
Ridge link incident to that node. If the link was classified
geographically ocean or Great Lakes, and a Vanderbilt link or chain
existed with the same ID and endpoints, the Oak Ridge link was
discarded, after transfer of Oak Ridge attributes. If the Oak Ridge
link was within 2 km of the new end nodes' location: and 1) if a
duplicate Vanderbilt link existed with a higher source code, it replaced
the Oak Ridge link, or 2) the Oak Ridge link was moved by a logistic
adjustment to the new location. (This causes modest disruption to the
preponderance of the shape, yet assured that the angle of approach
to the displaced end node location was preserved.) If the link was
functionally classed "deep draft" and a duplicate Vanderbilt link had
an authoritative source code, the Oak Ridge link was replaced.
Otherwise an additional shape point was added at the end to snap to
the new node location without disrupting the original link shape. If the
link had a Vanderbilt duplicate with the same ID, the Oak Ridge link
was so flagged to be manually resolved. The composite network was
then cleaned manually, resolving all cases of still remaining duplicate
links and deciding case-by-case how to smooth or otherwise
accommodate a highly displaced Oak Ridge shape into the Vanderbilt
digitized node location, using TIGER shorelines as a background.

In September 2014 GeoPlan obtained the data from the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (BTS) in CDROM format. The data
was in the following geographical coordinate system:
WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. During the QA/QC process
GeoPlan performed the following tasks.
- Extracted features where "FIPS" = '12' or "FIPS2" = '12 to
select features in Florida. Hand selected additional features in the
vicinity of the coast of Florida.
- Reprojected the data to FGDL Albers HPGN.
- Uppercased all fields.
- Deleted the empty field DIR.
- Added DESCRIPT field based on RIVERNAME.
- Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date GeoPlan received
the data from the source.
- Renamed the dataset from waterway to btsww_2014

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
