Abstract:
This dataset contains primary lakes in north and central Florida developed from GNIS, USGS 1:24k Hydrography data, 1994 DOQQs, and USGS DRGs and reviewed by DEP and WMD personnel. Please Note: The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD1:24K) statewide download of March 17th 2015, includes all surface waters in the state. Only a collection of named lakes or reservoirs extracted from the NHD are used in this layer.
Purpose:
Provide matching point and polygon lake coverages, most with verified names.

Use_Constraints:
This coverage includes every major lake but is not a complete coverage of the 
lakes in Florida. South Florida is not included in this coverage. Lakes data will likely 
be updated in the future to include agency developed waterbody IDs for each lake. 
Also, USGS GNIS naming board will be given the chance to check and approve 
the determined lake names. If/as this effort is accomplished, GNIS IDs may be 
added to the attribute data.

Process_Description:
GNIS Lake Points were used as reference points to find the lakes. 
The GNIS points were then checked against the 1995 Digital Ortho Quadrangles (DOQs). 
The points were then moved if necessary to represent the center of the lakes, 
or the point most likely to remain water during drought. 
Other points were added to represent lakes that did not have GNIS points. 
The names of the points were then checked against the Digital Raster Graphics and other resources. 
The USGS Hydrography layer was then clipped to the point coverage, 
so that there was a layer of just the polygons that intersected the points. 
The polygon coverage was then cleaned up to match the 1995 DOQs 
and given the appropriate name from the point coverage. 
The lakes that did not have names were sent to the respective 
Water Management District lake biologists for QA/QC. 
Additional QA/QC included the following: A LINK field was 
developed to ensure point + polygon correspondence 373 Duplicate Names 
were investigated 252 names had blank spaces before the 
Name that had to be removed County Names were 
compared to DEP Standards Unnecessary fields were removed

There are 1058 records that were removed from the 4329 found in the original 
DataMiner Lakes layer. 596 new lake features were collected from the NHD 
(National Hydrography Dataset) and added to the Dataminer SDE Lakes layer. 
Those NHD files can be found in the following directory: \\gisraid\gissub

The GDB layer was exported to shapefile.

The dataset's projection was redefined to FGDL Albers.

During the QA/QC process the following tasks were undertaken:
- Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers.
- Deleted the OBJECTID field.
- Uppercased all records in the table.
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME.
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source.
- Renamed file from LAKES_AREAS to LAKES_AREAS_SEP05.

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:
