SRWMD: Data portrays all interests, current and past, within SRWMD District.
SWFWMD: This data set were created to show the locations of proposed District owned land. It should be used for cartographic and resource management purposes only.
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.
These files are continuously updated as new lands are proposed or acquired. The contractor for the Green Swamp and Lower Hillsborough, FDA was: Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc 200 East Robinson Street, Suite 1560 Orlando, Florida 32801 (407) 422-8062
Additional Information: (352) 796-7211
SFWMD: Boundary lines are derived primarily from digital versions of county parcel maps. It should be noted that the boundaries contained in this dataset are based on the best information available at the time of entry. Although some boundaries are based on survey data, this dataset is a graphical representation and should be construed as such. In no way should this data be construed as survey accurate.
A detailed guide to this data base is not available at this time, and is not essential for general usage and understanding. Users should note that there is a substantial body of information about the projects themselves on the Land Acquisition web site as well as others.
For more information about the Land Acquisition Program and related projects, users should visit the applicable intraweb and internet web sites. A central site for Land Acquisition is at <http://www.sfwmd.gov/site/index.php?id=10>. Along with general information about the program, this site contains a detailed description of each project and maps at different scales.
Project information is also available at the site www.evergladesplan.org. A complete list of CERP projects is found at ww.evergladesplan.org/pm/projects/index.shtml, which contains links to management plans, calendars, related projects, a glossary of terms, and a tool to select projects by interactive map query.

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.

SFWMD: An accuracy report is not available for this layer. The primary source of parcel boundaries is from the county parcel maps, which are relatively accurate. The attribution for this layer is not thorough - many of the columns are not fully populated at this time, and others may have contain some errors. The column named 'accuracy' is not operational. The fields that are programmatically significant and well populated are the project name, internal tract ID, estate type, owner, revision date and process (status). Users should be aware that this is a dynamic, working data layer rather than a refined publication version.
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.

- All fields in the table were upcased. - An ACRES field was added and calculated using the ESRI tool calculate geometry. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source - Original file name was districtlands
Feature Class was imported into new geodatabase and reprojected into UTM Harn Zone 17 from State Plane East NAD 83
Each shapefile was exported with only the fields that are now available. Additional table information is available for each water management district in the shapefiles used to compile this dataset. See each individual water management districts download sites for these datasets.
The three shapefiles were merged using the Merge command in ArcCatalog to create a single shapefile containing district parcels, conservation easements, and potential acquisitions for SJRWMD.
- Upcased all records in the table. - An ACRES field was added and calculated using the ESRI tool calculate geometry. - Added a DESCRIPT field based on PARCEL_NAME from district parcels and potential acquisitions. It is based on CONSERVATI for conservation easements. - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date downloaded from source - Original file names were SJRWMD_Parcels, cons_easements, and PotentialAcq2008
GeoPlan received this dataset from the Suwannee River Water Management District via email in May 2008. The data was downloaded as a shapefile and was in the following projection: NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_North_FIPS_0903_Feet. The dataset was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.

- All fields in the table were upcased. - An ACRES field was added and calculated using the ESRI tool calculate geometry. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on CA_NAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source - Original file name was lm_ownership41708
PROPOSED Areas targeted for acquisition were delineated on USGS 7.5 quadrangles or paper copies of USGS color infrared (CIR) DOQQ's. Process Date: Unknown
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 Date: 20070720
AQUIRED 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. Process Date: 20070720
This layer is derived from the District's Land 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.
Since 2003, either a shapefile that is created in AutoCAD Map or a DXF file is provided of the parcel boundary. The file's projection is defined and then projected using ArcToolBox. The parcel is then combined with the existing Parcel feature class and attributed within ArcMap. The topology is validated and any errors corrected.
A new shapefile was exported with only the fields that are now available. Additional table information is available for each water management district in the shapefiles used to compile this dataset. See each individual water management districts download sites for these datasets.
- All fields in the table were upcased. - An ACRES field was added and calculated using the ESRI tool calculate geometry. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on PROJECTNAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source - Original file names were DISTRICTLANDSACQUIRED and DISTRICTLANDSPROPOSED
Parcels included in this data base are those for which the District has obtained an interest (fee, easement, flow easement, etc) or have been proposed for acquisition. For more information about the selection process see the land acquisition web site at <http://www.sfwmd.gov/site/index.php?id=10>.
The primary source of parcel boundary lines is the digital parcel boundary data derived from county programs. These are transferred or copied from district copies of the county layers. Parcel information maintained in an Oracle data base has been joined to the GIS spatial layers, and additional fields added, to produce the coverage attribute tables.
