Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
NOT LEGALLY BINDING. These digital national park unit boundaries should not be used for any legal boundary disputes. To obtain the most accurate, current boundary, users should contact the specific park. The National Park Service shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the park boundary data described and/or contained herein. These data are not legal documents and are not intended to be used as such. The information contained in these data is dynamic and may change over time. The data are no better than the original sources from which they were derived. In fact, the data are likely less accurate than the original sources as no attempt has been made to thoroughly error check the data. It is the responsibility of the data user to use the data appropriately and consistent within the limitations of geospatial data in general and these data in particular. The National Park Service gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. It is strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from an NPS server and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the National Park Service, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the utility of the data on another system or for general or scientific descriptions, nor aggregate use with other data. Acknowledgement of the NPS Water Resources Division would be appreciated in products derived from these data. Users must assume responsibility to determine the appropriate use of these data. NOT INTENDED FOR LEGAL PURPOSES.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are 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. 1:125000 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. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Description:
This data was downloaded in shapefile format by the GeoPlan Center in 2002 from Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean GIS) website: http://www.csc.noaa.gov/opis/html/data.htm. When received, the geographic extent of the data was the Southeastern U.S. and the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal degrees. The data was clipped to the State of Florida and projected to FGDL Albers HPGN. DESCRIPT item was added based on PL_CITE, and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased.
Process_Date: 2002
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) 2.) Upcased all character records 3.) Clipped to the State of Florida 4.) DESCRIPT item was added based on the item PL_CITE 5.) Dropped item: PL_LINK
