A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

The dataset's prior history from FMRI is as follows: The initial selection of marinas being included was based on the ABI SICCOD Value of 449306 (marinas) and additionally all those ABI marinas which contained the value 'marina*' in their name item. Marinas found in the waterways guides were also included. Locations of the marinas were determined first by map location on the waterways guides, and alternatively by an address provided by ABI and road maps (map expert 2.0 for Windows 95). The locations were placed as close as possible to the addresses on the map (1:40000 scale). Process Date: 20000000 |
