This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology |
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge. |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
Refuge boundary data were compiled for resource applications. It is inappropriate to use this data in legal situations, or other applications where spatial error cannot exceed the USGS 7.5' mapping standards. The boundaries included in this coverage will be updated as more information is received. Please check the dates on the web page for update information. |
The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference of facility boundaries for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. This data set in particular has been generalized even more than the individual refuges data sets and is intended solely as an overview or locator map. |
This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan |
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan |
THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html |

*Downloaded the Region 4 Refuge boundaries from http://gis.sds.fws.gov/website/fwsbndry/CustomHelp.htm. *The data was reprojected to the Albers Conical Equal Area Projection. *All boundaries that intersected Florida were selected and exported as a layer. *All fields were upcased. *Created a PHONE field and combined the AREACODE field and the seven digit TELEPHONE field. Deleted the AREACODE and TELEPHONE fields in favor of the combined 10 digit phone number in the PHONE field. *A DESCRIPT field was added and filled with ORGNAME. *A FGDLAQDATE was added based on date downloaded from source. *An AUTOID field was added and filled with [FID] +1. There were 475 features in the existing nwrfla dataset on FGDL, there are 343 features in the Region_4_NWR_Approved_Aq_Boundaries that were downloaded. The difference was due to the fact that the existing layer contained property specific information, i.e. outparcels that were part of the wildlife refuges. The new layer contains only the approved boundary of the refuges. Process Date: 200710 |
