Description:

Abstract:

This dataset includes Southwest Florida Water Management District land boundaries. Included are both acquired and proposed land acquisitions. It includes fee, less-than-fee and perpetual easement acquistions. It also includes areas proposed for fee or less-than-fee acquisition. This layer is an update of the SWFDL layer that was released with FGDL Version 2003.

Purpose:

This data set was created to show the locations of District owned land, either aquired or proposed. It should be used for cartographic and resource management purposes only.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS

A note about 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>

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

A frequency table of the Parcel layer is created which contains the parcel number and acreage. This table is compared with a parcel list of parcels that have been acquired. For proposed acquisitions, a visual inspection of check plots was performed.

Completeness_Report: There are no significant omissions.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Overlay of acquired maps with 1:24000 USGS quadrangle maps and comparisons of relatively well-defined features such as roads and rivers determined the accuracy to be +/- 13 meters. The above value is estimated to meet National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 maps.

Process_Description:

FEE AND LESS-THAN-FEE ACQUISITIONS The ground control surveys used for creating the majority of these data were made by the Survey section of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).

Some surveys were completed by individual survey firms under contract to the seller, but had to meet the Southwest Florida Water Management District Survey Section's requirements. A Professional Surveyor verified these from the Survey section of the SWFWMD.

For large multi-parcel acquisition projects, such as the Green Swamp and Annutteliga Hammock, surveys were not obtained for the small tracts (most are less than 20 acres). Sketches were made based on the legal descriptions. These projects are located in Lake, Polk and Hernando counties.

ACQUIRED LANDS This layer is derived from the Parcel layer. The ArcINFO DISSOLVE command was used to eliminate internal parcel lines and leave only the exterior project boundaries. A metadata report for the Parcel layer is available from the District.

Each new parcel is combined with the existing coverage and attributed within ArcEdit. Topology is created for the coverage using CLEAN or BUILD.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

PROPOSED LANDS USGS 1:24,000 Quadrangles were tied down with a minimum of four control points. Project boundaries were digitized onscreen using ArcEdit software with the USGS color infrared DOQQ's as a backdrop. Topology was generated using the ArcINFO BUILD command. Attribute items were added to the feature attribute table and the appropriate attribute assigned to each polygon.

The method of choice now is to use heads-up digitizing on-screen with the DOQQ's as a backdrop in ArcEdit.

Process_Description:

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Southwest Florida Water Management District website: (<http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/data/gis/index.htm>) in April 2005. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: NAD_1983_HARN_UTM_Zone_17N. The dataset was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.

- Upcased all characters in the table - A DESCRIPT item was added based on the item PROJECTNAM.
