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>
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
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.
The following notes show the polygons that had to be deleted from MILITR_2006 in order to make room for Todd Hortons data
