of the original data layer's topology
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our

The LWCF Program provides matching grants to States and local governments for 
the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities 
(as well as funding for shared federal land acquisition and conservation strategies). 
The program is intended to create and maintain a nationwide legacy of high quality 
recreation areas and facilities and to stimulate non-federal investments in the 
protection and maintenance of recreation resources across the United States.

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

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
GeoPlan received a 2013 NPS Projects Excel table on December 23rd, 2013.
GeoPlan cross-walked over the NPS Project Name and Grantee to the existing
in-progress update layer of GC_PARKSBND_APR14.

-Renamed layer to NPS_PROJECTS_2013
-Upcased
-Added DESCRIPT field based on PROJNAME (2006 - SITE_NAME)
-Added FGDLAQDATE based on date received from source.
-The GCID number in this layer corresponds to the GCID number in the GC_PARKSBND layers.

Please Note many of the GC_PARKSBND park boundaries are only parcel polygons, 
the exact park boundary is unknown in this layer as it is not taken from deeds or other legal descriptions. 
However, the legal boundary may correspond to the parcel boundary in many cases.
