Abstract:
This dataset represents Florida's County Boundaries with a detailed shoreline. This layer was created using the 2015 TIGER/Line Files from the US Census Bureau and FMRI's detailed shoreline polygon. The Census boundaries for counties and equivalent entities are as of January 1, 2014, primarily as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS).

GeoPlan maintains 3 county boundary layers: COUNTYSHORE_AREAS, CNTBND, and COUNTY. These 3 layers will all have the same interior boundaries and different coastal boundaries. The interior boundaries come from the MAF/TIGER Database that is updated yearly by the US Census Bureau. The coastal boundaries differ in the following way:
1) COUNTYSHORE_AREAS - FWRI's detailed shoreline layer (updated periodically)
2) CNTBND - moderately generalized shoreline designed for Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) display, sourced from historic US Census Bureau data
3) COUNTY - highly generalized shoreline designed for ETDM display, sourced from historic US Census Bureau data
Purpose: This data is intended for a variety of planning purposes.

Process_Description:
-GeoPlan downloaded this data from two sources:
1. downloaded shoreline data from FMRI (scale 1:40,000) - <http://ocean.floridamarine.org/TRGIS/Description_Layers_Terrestrial.htm#shorelines> - Originally projected in PCS Albers with a Datum of GCS_North_American_1983. Reprojected into Albers Conical Equal Area with a datum of GCS_North_American_1983_Harn using NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida as the transformation. Saved the shapefile As Shoreline_proj.shp
2. downloaded latest TIGER county boundary - <ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/COUNTY/> -Extracted features where "STATEFP" = '12' to select features in Florida and saved as county_bound.shp -Originally projected in NAD 1983. Reprojected into Albers Conical Equal Area with a datum of NAD_1983_HARN using NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida as the transformation. Saved the shapefile As County_bound_proj.shp
The following procedures were performed on the data:
-Clip FMRI shoreline with TIGER county boundary. Saved as shore_county.shp -Erase FMRI shoreline with TIGER county boundary and save As county_shore_erase.shp -Dissolve county_shore_erase.shp into county_shore_dissolve.shp -Merge county_shore_dissolve.shp with shore_county.shp. Save As countyshore_areas.shp -Merging both data sets leaves one empty attribute (the area surrounding The state). Populate the fields NAME and NAMELSAD for that attribute With "WATER" -Add DESCRIPT field based on NAME -Add FGDLAQDATE field and populated it based on the date GeoPlan received the data -Restructured the table and saved it as countyshore_areas_sep15 -Uppercased all fields

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
