DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
SJRWMD - This dataset was developed using an on-screen digitizing approach to capture land use/cover
information. Orthorectified images (DOQ)converted from 1:40,000 scale color-infrared photography
were displayed on a computer screen at a sacle approximately 1:12,000. This on-screen digitizing
approach also utilized stereoplotters together with ancillary information including soils,
FEMA floodplains, land parcels, etc. to assist the photointerpretation efforts. Tha photography
was flown by the National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) from late 1993 through early 1995
with the bulk of photos taken in 1994.
SWFWMD - Landuse and Land Cover were photointerpreted on-screen from USGS Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quads
(DOQQ) by Earth Data staff as part of a cantract with the SWFWMD. The FDOT FLUCCS was used for all
land use coding. Uplands were mapped with a 5 acre minimum mapping unit and using FLUCCS Level 2
categories. In some areas there are uplands mapped to Level 3. Wetlands were mapped using a .5 acre
minimum mapping unit and using FLUCCS Level 3 categories. Some open water wetlands were mapped to
Level 2. FDOT and Earthdata staff made pre and post-interpretation helicoptor flights of selected
areas.
ETDM Processing - This dataset was created by first dissolving each WMD shapefile on Level 1. The three shapefiles
were then merged into one, where features between WMD's overlapped, SWFWMD features were used
because the photography used to create this data set are the most recent of the three. Finally,
any remaining polygons with an area of less than 5 acres were aggregated into its largest
neighboring polygon to create a more generalized landuse/landcover dataset.
