USER NOTES:







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












The field 'OGT_PRIOR' should be used for the prioritization of land acquisition need, 1 = high, 2=medium, 3 = low priority.













A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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 sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY: 









Trail Segment names and numbers were assigned to segments 
with High and Medium ranking. This shapefile was created by 
selectively combining Florida Trail Association's Florida Trail System 
and Preferred Route shapefiles, then intersecting that line with 
FNAI's Florida Forever Projects and Florida Conservation Lands 
shapefiles. The resulting segments were then individually coded 
as to require High, Medium or Low prioritization regarding the need 
for land acquisition. Some lumping of segments was done to simplify 
more complicated land acquisition configurations and indicates 
that land acquisition is needed various areas to complete the trail 
along that trail segment. Some of the data has been GPSed and 
some has been screen digitized usually at 1:24,000 scale.
