THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING.

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale data sets are not suitable for some projects, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale data sets 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 data sets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g. closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s"; and when the information to be encoded is relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s."

Source_Contribution:

The coverage recieved from the Florida Geological Survey was converted from AutoCad .dxf format to Arc/Info format. The county boundaries within the cntyshor-100 coverage were dissolved out using Arc/Info. The remaining shoreline was appended to the Florida coverage.

This coverage was brought into ArcView 3.0 and converted to a shapefile for editing purposes. The linework was digitized by FGS and needed some minor arc snapping. The shoreline was then appended to the geology linework by manually editing and snapping some vertices.

The shapefile was then converted to an Arc/Info coverage using the ShapeArc command in Arc/Info. The coverage was cleaned and projected to HPGN.

Minor edits were also made to the shoreline of Nassau County and the linework surrounding the St. Johns River in Clay and Putnam Counties. Paper maps noted in the above source information were provided by FGS and used for polygon attribution.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The process step describes, in general, the process used in the production of data sets. The originating agencies created the original spatial coverage. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers (2) Set Precision to DOUBLE (3) Set Tolerances to FGDL Standards. (4) Added the DESCRIPT item based on Formation description (5) See Source_Contribution for other information
