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>. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.
(verbal description, algorithms, projection, commands, etc., as needed) The county lines from a copy of the 1:24,000 DLG boundary layer were extracted and inserted into the 1:40,000 shoreline sheet. The coverage was CLEANED to establish polygon topology and county name attribution was added. The coverage was converted to a shapefile for insertion into SDE. Polygons were checked and edited for correct county and water attribution. DEP County Codes and FIPS Codes were obtained from the Oracle table MT$COUNTY and added through a join of the County Name.
The data was then downloaded by the GeoPlan Center from FDEP in shapefile format. The data had an orginal projection of Albers Datum - HPGN, Units- Meters, Spheroid - GRS1980.
