Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains Agriculture lands based on a selection from North West Water Management District (2016) Land use - Land Cover. The following selection was performed: "FLUCCS >= 2000 and FLUCCS < 3000"
Purpose:
This dataset, created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's 
Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration, is an inventory of Land Use
- Land Cover classified in the State of Florida's Northwest Florida Water 
Management District. This imagery contains natural color orthophotos covering 
counties in north Florida (Leon County imagery between 1/18/2015-2/05/2015, 
Eglin Air Force Base NAIP 2015 imagery) and/or 2016 Florida digital orthoimagery 
captured from October 2015 to March 2016. Classifications are provided for level 1,
2, 3 and a few level 4 (indicated in Land Use and Secondary Code fields) land uses.
Supplemental_Information:
Classifications for the following Counties were based on imagery "flown" on the 
listed dates: Bay (01-05-2016 to 01-29-2016), Calhoun (10-03-2015 to 11-11-2015), 
Escambia (11-20-2015), Franklin (12-09-2015 to 01-19-2016), Gadsden (11-13-2015
to 11-29-2015), Gulf (11-20-2015 to 12-19-2015), Holmes (12-04-2015 to 03-06-
2016), Jackson (10-03-2015 to 11-11-2015), Jefferson (11-13-2015 to 11-23-2015),
Leon (01-18-2015 to 02-05-2015), Liberty (01-19-2016 to 02-11-2016), Okaloosa 
(12-06-2015 to 02-06-2016), Santa Rosa (12-07-2015 to 02-06-2016), Wakulla (11
-16-2015 to 11-23-2015), Walton (12-04-2015 to 03-06-2016), Washington (12-04-
2015 to 03-06-2016).

A copy of the 2012-2013 NWFWMD db was used as a base in conjunction with 
2015-2016 digital orthoimagery to update the 2015-2016 database. 
Three new codes have also been added-- 2190: Wildlife Strip Crops; 
7470: Dikes and Levees; 8315: Electric Power Sub Stations. 
A number of modification to existing code descriptions have also been made and 
these modifications can be found in the Photo Interpreter Key assigned to the 2015-2016 data.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center received the original dataset NWFWMD_LANDUSE_2015_2016.shp
from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's
Bureau of Watershed Restoration via FTP on June 12th, 2018.

OR
http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/NWFWMD_LANDUSE_2015_2016.zip

The dataset was originally in the FDEP Albers projection which matched the
FGDL Albers projection so the FDEP .prj file was swapped out for the FGDL .prj file.

Next the records in the attribute table were UPPERCASED.

Below is the original FDEP NWFWMD file structure:

ITEM NAME
OBJECTID  
SHAPE  
LANDUSE_CODE  
LANDUSE_DESCRIPTION  
SECONDARY_CODE  
LEVEL_1_LANDUSE  
LEVEL_2_LANDUSE  
LEVEL_3_LANDUSE  
SECONDARY_DESCRIPTION  
LANDUSE_NAME  
Shape_Length  
Shape_Area 


Below is the crosswalk table between the original file structure and the new file structure:

ORIGINAL NAME           NEW NAME
OBJECTID                Deleted
LANDUSE_CODE            FLUCCS
SECONDARY_CODE          OTHER
LANDUSE_DESCRIPTION     LANDUSE_DE
SECONDARY_DESCRIPTION   SECONDARY2
LEVEL_1_LANDUSE         FLUCCS_L1
LEVEL_2_LANDUSE         FLUCCS_L2
LEVEL_3_LANDUSE         FLUCCS_L3

Additionally GeoPlan added and populated the following fields:

SOURCE
SOURCE2
LEVEL1
LEVEL2
LEVEL3
FLUCCSCOMP
ACRES
DESCRIPT
FGDLAQDATE

GeoPlan removed any carrot symbols in the attribute field and replaced them
with the correct verbal description.

GeoPlan renamed the layer from NWFWMD_LANDUSE_2015_2016.shp 
to LU_NWFWMD_2016.shp match the FGDL Land Use data layer structure.

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:
