USER NOTES:

All node-link and polygon topological relationships are created and verified using computer algorithms. Unique entity identifiers were similarly verified using ArcInfo.

The United States Military Installations database contains the boundaries and location information for important military installations in the United States and Puerto Rico. The database includes records for 405 military installations.

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

To provide graphic representation, location and attribute data for analysis, modeling and simulation, and studies. CLOSURE, REALIGN, and BRAC columns are from the office of Economic Adjustment and OSD websites at http://www.oea.gov, https://www.denix.osd.mil.

The Military installation database was compiled from TIGER/Line data having a positional accuracy measure of +/- 80m for the contiguous 48 States plus Washington D.C and Hawaii. TIGER/Line files for Puerto Rico and Alaska were compiled at a scale of 1:125,000.

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

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 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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html

REFERENCES: DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Military installation boundaries were added from TIGER data and topologically integrated. The dataset was checked for completeness and accuracy in ArcInfo and was converted to polygon shapefile format. Process Date: 2006 Florida Department of Community Affairs combined data from the older FGDL layer MILITR.shp and MILITARY_BASES.shp from the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The following are notes taken by the DCA when combining the two layers: GeoPlan 1. Avon Park: not accurate 2. Blount Island: missing 3. Camp Blanding: good 4. Eglin: good; but the outline includes a large blob on the NW edge of the base that crosses I-10; I don't know what that is. 5. Homestead: old map; base is now smaller 6. MacDill: minor boundary errors 7. Jacksonville: I don't have a good map, but looks generally OK 8. Key West: Look OK. 9. Mayport: Generally OK; note that there is an area of Navy Enlisted Housing and an area of Navy Exchange and Commissary just south of the map base that is missing from this layer. 10. Panama City: Missing 11. Pensacola: looks OK 12. Whiting Field: Missing (also there are several NOLFs that are missing) 13. Patrick/Cape Canaveral: Patrick look OK; Cape Canaveral is missing 14. Tyndall: missing some land to the NW of the main base Note: layer shows Cecil Field which is no longer military, so delete, FDEM layer 1. Avon Park: look OK (better than GeoPlan) 2. Blount Island: looks OK 3. Camp Blanding: looks OK 4. Eglin: looks OK 5. Homestead: 6. MacDill: looks OK 7. Jacksonville: looks OK 8. Key West: looks OK. 9. Mayport: same comment as GeoPlan 10. Panama City: looks OK. 11. Pensacola: looks OK 12. Whiting Field: looks OK 13. Patrick/Cape Canaveral: Patrick OK; Cape Canaveral missing 14. Tyndall: same comment as GeoPlan Process Date: Unknown GeoPlan received this dataset from 4 different sources: 1) email from Florida Department of Community Affairs in October 2006. The data was received in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Geographic NAD27. 2) NTAD cd-rom retrieved from source 8/9/2006. The data was received in shapefile format in the following projection: Geographic WGS84. 3) Avon Park boundary received in shapefile format via email from Brent Bonner. 4) PineCastle Bombing Range was digitized by GeoPlan based on in house imagery and information gathered from the following website: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/pinecastle.htm - NTAD data was renamed from MILBASE to MILITR_2006 and other sources were appended to this layer. All military installation boundaries that were in the FDEM layer but not in the NTAD layer were appended to MILITR_2006. - Cecil Field was deleted - All records were upcased. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download for each source. Process Date: 20061106 GeoPlan received data from a 5th source, Todd Horton, on 11/16/2006. This data took precedence over the existing data. If data from Todd Horton existed in an area then the existing data was deleted and Horton's data was appended. The resulting shapefile was named MILITR_DEC06. The following notes show the polygons that had to be deleted from MILITR_2006 in order to make room for Todd Hortons data nsa_panama_city: -delete NAV COASTAL SYS CTR, PANAMA CITY polygon from MILITR_2006 ns_mayport: -delete NAVAL STATION MAYPORT STATION polygon from MILITR_2006 nsa_orlando: -no problems nas_whiting_field: -delete WHITING FIELD NAS from MILITR_2006 polygon from MILITR_2006 -some over lap with EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE from MILITR_2006 nas_pensacola: delete the following polygons from MILITR_2006 -PENSACOLA NAVAL COMPLEX -BLUE ANGEL NAVAL RECREATION AR -NAVAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING -NAVAL TECHNICAL TRAINING CENTE NAS_Key_West_alb: delete the following from polygons from MILITR_2006 -NAVAL AIR STATION, KEY WEST -FLEMING KEY -MILITARY PROPERTY -TRUMAN ANNEX (KEY WEST NAVAL S -NAVAL HOUSING AREA -NAVAL MEDICAL CLINIC KEY WEST -TRUMBO POINT ANNEX NAS_Jacksonville: delete the following polygons from MILITR_2006 -JACKSONVILLE NAVAL COMPLEX -WHITEHOUSE FIELD Fort_Lauderdale: delete the following polygons from MILITR_2006 -US NAVAL RESERVATION Blount_Island: delete the following polygons from MILITR -BLOUNT ISLAND Process Date:
