USER NOTES:
These data appear to be logically consistent.  No feature errors were identified

The data represents sites with known use by one of the three species of beach 
mice mapped.  Mapped sites were identified based on knowledge of biologists.  
Ommissions may be possible due to the extnent of coverage and difficulty of 
surveying all coastal dune areas

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



Horizontal accuracy was not tested; however, data was created by digiziting on 
screen using 1 meter, digital orthophoto quater quads at a view scale of 1:1500 or
larger.



Not Applicable



A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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:
Source data were overlayed on 2004 true color digital orthophotos at a view scale of 1:2000 or larger.  The source data (Available Habitat for Perdido Key Beach 
Mouse) was edited to remove identifiable buildings and roads.  Vertices of existing
linework (XXXXXXXXXXX) were manipulated whenever possible to remove 
non-constituent elements listed above.
Process Date: 2005

- Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on UNIT_NAME - Added a FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source - Upcased all fields - Changed name to prop_pkbm_crit_hab Process Date: 20060209
