USER NOTES:
A note concerning data scale: 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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
In 2002, the GeoPlan Center obtained this data in shapefile format from the FDEM CDROM 2000. When received, the data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD27. The data was reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below), the DESCRIPT item was added based on the existing item DESCRIP, and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased. The following old internal coverage items were dropped from the attribute table: Restar_, Restar_id.
