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 this dataset via email from Department of Forestry
(taylors@doacs.state.fl.us) in March 2006. The data was received in shapefile
format and was in the following projection: Albers HPGN.
- Dissolved layer based on DOF_NAME (left layer as multipart)
- All records were upcased.
- Changed original layer name from DOF_CURRENT to STATE_FORESTS.
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on DOF_NAME
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download.
