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>

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The FGDL data layer MAJRDS (Major Roads - Statewide) was used as the base map for the scenic highways shapefile. Data was received in shapefile format by the GeoPlan Center from URS Corporation in 2001.

The dataset's prior history from URS is as follows: The FDOT RCI database is updated monthly. This version of the database was downloaded from the FDOT ftp site (<ftp://ftp.dot.state.fl.us>) in October, 2001.

- Existing scenic highways were selected out based on FDOT descriptions found at: <http://www.dot.state.fl.us/publicinformationoffice/scenichighway/designated.htm>

- Proposed scenic highways were then selected out based on FDOT descriptions at: <http://www.dot.state.fl.us/publicinformationoffice/scenichighway/candidates.htm>

- SCENIC_HWY and STATUS fields were added to the attribute tables and the existing and proposed highways were merged using the arcmap geoprocessing wizard.

- Added DESCRIPT item based on SCENIC_HWY.
