This layer contains burial grounds in the project area, mapped as polygon features. Both active and inactive sites are included, but not sites that would be considered pre-European or part of the archaeological record. Source data includes paper and hardcopy maps, state records (Florida Master Sites File and Division of Historical Resources), historical and genealogical societies, and other likely sources. Delineation of currently un-recorded sites is considered beyond the scope of this project, unless they are found in the course of study. This GIS layer was produced by the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council (NCFRPC) under contract with FDOT District 2 in early 2005. This is one of many layers that fall into the general category of "sociocultural" GIS data. Specifications and oversight were provided by FDOT and by the Geoplan Center at the University of Florida.
The North Central Florida Regional Planning Council (NCFRPC) is working with the Florida Department of Transportation, District 2 to create regional maps of "sociocultural" features, including hospitals, parks, cemeteries, historical structures, and others. The maps will provide the FDOT with improved spatial information required for planning roadway projects.

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 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. 1:125000 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.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Data development is a component of the Efficient Transporation Decision Making Process (ETDM). The primary objectives of the ETDM initiative include: Effective/timely decision making without compromising environmental quality. Integrating review and permitting process. Early NEPA reviews and approvals Full and early participation Meaningful dispute resolution For more information about these initiatives an on-line search using keyword 'ETDM' will provide a number of resources. A listing of relevant documents and resources is included under: http://fdotenvironmentalstreamlining.urs-tally.com/Library/default.htm.
The methods used in creating this layer were very consistent. The shapefile had one author and all listed sources were consulted to verify locations of features. This included field visits to many of the sites in question.
Many cemeteries from the past have not been located due to lost records, lack of maintenance, lost grave markers, or a combination thereof. Of the sources that were consulted, the majority of the listed cemeteries has been demarcated. There are still several small family burials that have been lost in time, as well as possible larger ones. Some cemeteries that were once thought lost are located in this layer.

Layer was created by using the geocoded point layer, buffering to 100m, and creating a polygon shapefile to be used for editing. Added fields: ACCESS, SOURCES, ALTERNATE, RESOLVE, CONFIDENCE, and others required by SCE specifications. Deleted unnecessary fields. ACCESS tells the user how accessible the site is. SOURCES indicate the main sources helpful in verifying the cemetery location. ALTERNATE indicates other names used for the site. RESOLVE was used to differentiate polygons that were verified and finished. 0 means the site is incomplete, not located, or not verifiable. 1 means site is complete. CONFIDENCE is the author's level of confidence that the cemetery is correctly located on the map or in existence.
GeoPlan received this data, via CDROM, and performed the following: -Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. -Restructured the attribute table to fit the SCE Data Specification Document Standards. -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date FGDL acquired the data from the source. -Added DESCRIPT field based on 'NAME'
