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
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center

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:

REFERENCES:
For the State Historic Highway designations see the following Laws of Florida: 
74-400;75-312;76-304;77-491;80-433;81-164;83-365;84-379;86-308;88-418;
89-383;91-320;92-152;93-294; and 95-434.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The data was compiled from the Laws of Florida, which designate the State Historic Highways.
The pertinent laws are identified by the year instituted and the bill number (for example,
74-400 for the designation of Old Cutler Road). Roadway limits were determined from the text
and the appropriate roadway section ID and Mile Posts were identified using the FDOT basemap.

GeoPlan received the data via Email in April 2005. The data was projected from UTM Zone 17N NAD83 to FGDL Albers. Process Date: 20050000
GeoPlan added Brickell Rd Please note: the state law is incorrect and states from SE 25th St, when it should be SE 25th Rd. Process Date: 20120503
GeoPlan edited the north portion Calle Ocho Historic Hwy that runs along SW 7th st based on advice from FDOT. A pdf was sent with file name DA4586_86-308_HB1104-3.pdf Process Date: 20141003
