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 at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html
FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:
-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) -Converted coverage to shapefile -Changed DESCRIPTION item to DESCRIPT -Upcased all character records -Dropped old internal coverage items: MILEMK_, MILEMK_ID

Florida Department of Emergency ManagementDATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Data was obtained by the GeoPlan Center in coverage format from FDEM CD ROM 2000. Coverage was coverted to shapefile, reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN, DESCRIPT item was added based on DESCRIPTION, and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased. When received, data was in Lat/Long NAD27 projection.MAP PROJECTION PARAMETERS
