SOURCE         Numerical code given to indicate the source the trail was digitized from:

               1    The boundary of the Apalachicola National Forest was obtained from 
                    a shapefile of managed land in the State of Florida produced by the 
                    Florida Natural Areas Inventory.  The boundary of the wilderness areas 
                    in the forest were digitized from the US Forest Service Apalachicola 
                    National Forest map.

               2    The boundary of the Osceola National Forest was obtained from 
                    a shapefile of managed lands in the State of Florida produced by the 
                    Florida Natural Areas Inventory.  The boundary of the wilderness area 
                    in the forest were digitized from the US Forest Service Osceola 
                    National Forest map.

               3    The boundary of the Ocala National Forest was obtained from 
                    a shapefile of managed land in the State of Florida produced by the 
                    Florida Natural Areas Inventory.  The boundary of the wilderness areas 
                    in the forest were digitized from the US Forest Service Ocala 
                    National Forest map.

               4    The boundary of the Withlacoochee State Forest Croom Motorcycle Area
                    is based on info from the following website.

USER NOTES:

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. 

1:250000 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 analyses. 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 web pages
