USER NOTES:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
This data set was created to show the location of the State Historic Highways (SHH).
It provides users with the ability to determine the presence or proximity of a SHH
to a given project. The Laws of Florida identified in the attribute table represent
the legal requirements for the handling of SHH involvement in a project, which 
include coordination or review by the Florida Department of State - Division of
Historic Resources.

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:

REFERENCES:
For the State Historic Highway designations see the following Laws of Florida: 
74-400;75-312;76-304;77-491;80-433;81-164;83-365;84-379;86-308;88-418;

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The data was compiled from the Laws of Florida, which designate the State Historic Highways.
The pertinent laws are identified by the year instituted and the bill number (for example,
74-400 for the designation of Old Cutler Road). Roadway limits were determined from the text
and the appropriate roadway section ID and Mile Posts were identified using the FDOT basemap.
