USER NOTES:

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. 1:24,000 data
should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 

1:100,000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 

1:250,000 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 section and the Data 
Source Contact section of this documentation. 

For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at: 
http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html 

FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:

-Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN
-Dropped old internal coverage items: cover# and cover id
-Converted area and perimeter from feet to meters
-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME to attribute table
