*** SJRWMD - LUCODE VS. LCCODE ***
Each feature is required to have two attributes, one emphasizing land
cover (LCCODE) and the second land use (LUCODE). In most cases, these two
values are the same. They differ in a minority of cases where separate cover and
use values are required in order to adequately describe the mapping unit. The
result is a map with dual codes. The LCCODE attribute can be used (mapped,
queried, etc.) alone for a land cover emphasis; LUCODE can be used alone for a
land use emphasis; or both can be used together.
Any polygon described by the following LUCODE values must be assigned a
different LCCODE value:
1180 - Rural residential (2-5 acres per dwelling unit)
1650 - Reclaimed mining lands
1670 - Abandoned mining lands
1900 - Open land (urban)
1920 - Inactive land with street pattern but no structures (urban)
2600 - Other open lands (rural)
Any polygon described by the following LCCODE values must be assigned a
different LUCODE value:
8340 - Wastewater treatment
8360 - Other treatment ponds (non-sewage).
In this case, the LUCODE must be populated with the
associated land use or purpose of the ponds, e.g.
dairy (2520) or cattle feeding operation (2310).
Polygons described by the following LUCODEs may at the discretion of the
photointerpreter have differing values for LUCODE and LCCODE:
1700 - Institutional
1730 - Military
1750 - Governmental (Kennedy Space Center only)
1800 - Recreational
1850 - Parks and zoos
2240 - Abandoned tree crops
2310 - Cattle feeding operations
2320 - Poultry feeding operations
2500 - Specialty farms
2510 - Horse farms
2520 - Dairies
8350 - Solid waste disposal

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology. |
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge. There was some overlap in the three land use layers before merging them together. Any place there was overlap the following hierarchy was used in this order: SWFWMD, SJRWMD, SFWMD. |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
In the past, FGDL distributed land use by County by Water Management District.
For the 2007 version of FGDL, the four districts that have 1990 land use data
have been merged together. These four districts (SWFWMD,
SJRWMD, SRWMD, SFWMD) make up the layer LU90. This layer has been
broken up by county for easy distribution via ftp or cd-rom.
Because there is no data from NWFWMD, there are several counties
in the panhandle that don't have data for this layer. In these cases you will need
to get LU95. In addition, because WMD boundaries do not follow county
boundaries, there are some counties in the north eastern part of the state that
have partial data.

St. John's Water Management District User Notes:
All IRL data is classified to level three. The non-IRL data is a mixture
of level two, three, and four. The item definitions are identical, but
there are differences in the land use coding. The non-IRL data set
follows the modified Florida Land Use Cover Classification Scheme (FLUCCS).
The IRL data follows this as well, but there are codes that have been
added which are not documented on the modified FLUCCS system.
There are some coding errors in that some codes don't match any
system and are miscodes. A plan to remedy this is under investigation.
The total area of miscodes is about 0.001% of the district. Some quads
were partially interpreted by both contractors. This happened where
the IRL Basin boundary ran through a quad. These quads have been
merged together. Because of the differences in photo interpretation,
the polygons along the contractor boundary may not match well. A
copy of the coding scheme is available through the Division of GIS.
Quads in the southwest corner of Lake county have land use past
the district boundary to the county boundary. These are named
lulake <quad#>. A standard lu coverage that is clipped to the district
boundary also exists for these quads.
The minimum mapping units for this project are:
0.5 acres for wetlands
2.0 acres for land use categories
Suwannee River Water Management District User Notes:
This land use, vegetation cover, and land form classification system
in arranged in hierarchical levels with each level containing land
information of increasing specificity. The various categories and
subcategories listed and defined herein reflect the types of data and
information which can be extracted from aerial photography of various
type (panchromatic, natural color, or false-color infrared) and scales
(large, medium, and small) and from the current generation of airborne
and satellite multispectral imaging systems. Color, shade, shape, size,
texture, shadows, context, and, in the case of non-photographic imagery,
multispectral and multitemporal characteristics are some of the features used
to implement land use/cover classification. In this project, a combination of
data sources were used to delineate and classify land cover. The principal
data source was TM. Additional data sources were: SPOT Panchromatic
and Multispectral Imagery, United States (US) Department of Agriculture
National High Altitude Photography--1983-1984 (NHAP), US Geological
Survey 7.5 minute Quadrangle Maps, US Fish and Wildlife Service National
Wetlands Inventory Maps, and site visits. This enabled ERDAS to classify
categories for all the Levels that are described below.
LEVEL I
This level of classification is very general in nature. It can be obtained
from remote sensing satellite imagery with supplemental information.
Level I would normally be used for very large areas, statewide or larger,
mapped typically at a scale of 1:1,000,000 or 1:500,000. At these scales,
one inch equals sixteen miles (one centimeter per ten kilometers) and one
inch equals eight miles (one centimeter per five kilometers), respectively.
LEVEL II
This level of classification is more specific than level I. Data for Level II
classification are normally obtained from high altitude imagery
(40,000 to 60,000 feet) supplemented by satellite imagery and other materials,
such as topographic maps. Mapping typically might be at a scale of 1:100,000
or one inch equals 8,333 feet ( one centimeter per one kilometer).
LEVEL III
This level of classification is usually delineated from medium altitude
photography flown between 10,000 and 40,000 feet. The mapping scale
typically is 1:24,000 or one inch equals 2,000 feet (one centimeter per 0.24 kilometer).
LEVEL IV
This (The most specific) level of classification is delineated from low
altitude photography flown below 10,000 feet. In comparison with the
above mentioned levels, Level IV typically might be mapped at a scale of
1:6,000 or one inch equals 500 feet (one centimeter per 0.06 kilometer).
It is important for the reader to realize that as the scale of the imagery increases,
not only will the image analyst be able to make more specific assignments of
ground features to particular land use/cover classes, but the increased scale
will allow for the break out of smaller features. At Levels III and IV, relatively
small ground areas form a significant portion of an image. For certain classes
of ground cover, this may present difficulties. For example, on 1":500' images
groups of three or four oak trees are easily delineated. While in and of
themselves they do not form a forest, that particular polygon will still be
assigned to the Upland Forest class. An even more extreme case is the
delineation of just a few hundred square feet of herbaceous ground cover.
While such an area clearly cannot support cattle, it is still assigned to the
Rangeland classification. While this shortcoming of the classification system
does not cause any real conceptual problems, we feel that the reader should
be advised of these facts.
The first four classes, being of a land use nature, required special attention.
Residential and commercial areas were first extracted from the imagery and
underwent a specialized classification (Kauth-Thomas transformation and
band rationing). Then these areas were edited using NHAP. Lake City was
classified and edited using SPOT Panchromatic and Multispectral Imagery
(May 2, 1988). Industrial and extractive sites were digitized directly from the
TM imagery, using previous knowledge of the sites and NHAP as a guide.
Transportation corridors (4-lane or greater roads) were digitized interactively
on the Landsat imagery on the color monitor. The remainder of the landcover
classes were digitally classified from the TM and edited using NHAP. The
NHAP averaged five years older than the TM, 30 edits based on photo
interpretation had to be done with this in mind.

LI LII LIII <- Levels of Classification
Urban or Built-up land consists of areas of intensive use, with much of
the land covered by structures. Included in this category are cities,
towns, villages, strip developments along highways, and such areas as
those occupied by mills, shopping centers, industrial and commercial
complexes, and institutions that may, in some instances, be isolated
from urban areas.
As development progresses, small blocks of land of less intensive or
nonconforming use may be isolated in the midst of built-up areas and
will generally be included in this category. Agricultural, forest, or
water areas on the fringe of urban and built-up areas will not be
included except where they are part of low-density urban development.
The Urban or Built-up category takes precedence over others when the
criteria for more than one category are met. For example, residential
areas that have sufficient tree cover to meet Forested Upland criteria
will still be classified as Residential in the Urban or Built-Up category.
(U) Urban and built-up land

Agricultural land may be defined as those lands which are cultivated to
produce crops and livestock. The sub-categories of Agriculture are:
Cropland, Pastureland, Orchards, Groves (except citrus), Vineyards,
Nurseries, Ornamental Horticulture Areas, Citrus Groves, Confined
Feeding Operations, Specialty Farms and Other Agriculture.
(A) Agriculture
(AC) Cropland

Historically, Rangeland has been defined as land where the potential
natural vegetation is predominantly grasses, grasslike plants, forbs, or
shrubs, and is capable of being grazed. Management practices may include
brush control, regulation of grazing intensity, and season of use. If
revegetated to improve the forage cover, it is managed like native
vegetation. Generally this land is not fertilized, cultivated, or irrigated.
The definition of Rangeland used in the CONSERVATION NEEDS INVENTORY by
the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior is used in this
classification scheme and describes the natural potential (climax) plant
cover as being composed of principally native grasses, forbs and shrubs
valuable for forage. This category includes Grassland, Shrub and
Brushland, and Mixed Rangeland.
(R) Rangeland
(RG) Grassland
(RS) Scrub and brushland
(RSPP) Palmetto prairies
(RSSB) Brushland
Forestland includes uplands, basically the drier areas, which have a tree
crown density (crown closure of 10 percent or more), and are dominated by
trees and other woody vegetation. Lands from which trees have been removed
to less than 10 percent crown closure, but which have not been developed for
other use, are also included in this category. For example, lands on which
there are rotation cycles, involving clear-cutting and block planting, are
part of the forested uplands category.
Since most naturally seeded forestlands are composed of a mixture of species,
for purposes of classification a minimum of 66 2/3 percent stand dominance
(by crown area measurement) of one species or species groups is necessary
for inclusion into separate categories. Less than 66 2/3 percent stand
dominance of one species or species groups is considered to be a mixed
category. It should be noted that classification is based on overstory
species composition, as interpreted from aerial photography. Forested
uplands are classified as follows:
(F) Forested uplands
(FE) Coniferous
(FEPF) Pine flatwoods
(FESP) Sand pine scrub
(FECF) Commercial forest (pine)
(FO) Non-coniferous
(FOAP) Australian pine
(FOBP) Brazilian pepper
(FOPA) Palms
(FOSO) Scrub oak
(FOOK) Oak
(FOCF) Commercial forest
(FM) Mixed forested
(FMTW) Temperate hardwoods
(FMCM) Cabbage palms/Melaleuca
(FMCO) Cabbage palms/Oaks
(FMPM) Pine/Melaleuca
(FMPO) Pine/Oak
(FMTH) Tropical hammocks
(FMOF) Old fields forested
(FMCD) Coastal dunes
(FMPC) Pine/Cabbage palms
Wetlands are those areas where the water table is at, near, or above the
land surface for a significant part of most years. The hydrologic regime
is such that aquatic or hydrophytic vegetation usually is established,
although alluvial and tidal flats may be nonvegetated. Wetlands are
frequently associated with topographic lows. Examples of wetlands include
marshes, mudflats, emergent vegetation areas, and swamps. Shallow water
areas with submerged aquatic vegetation are classed as Water and are not
included in the Wetlands category.
Extensive parts of some river floodplains qualify as Wetlands. These do not
include agricultural land where seasonal wetness or short-term flooding may
provide an important component of the total annual soil moisture necessary
for crop production. But, uncultivated wetlands yielding products such as
wood, or grazed by livestock, are retained in the Wetlands category.
Wetlands areas drained for any purpose belong to other land use categories,
whether they be Agriculture, Rangeland, or Forested. When the drainage is
discontinued and such use ceases, classification reverts to Wetlands after
characteristic vegetation is reestablished. Wetlands managed for wildlife
purposes may show short- term changes in vegetation type and wetness
condition as different management practices are used, but are properly
classified Wetlands.
(W) Wetlands
(WF) Forested fresh
(WFCM) Cypress/Melaleuca
(WFCY) Cypress
(WFWL) Willow
(WFME) Melaleuca
(WFSB) Scrub and brushland
(WFMX) Mixed forested
(WN) Non-forested fresh

(WSBW) Black and White mangrove
(WM) Non-forested salt
(WX) Mixed forested and non-forested fresh
(WXPP) Pine and wet prairies
(WXCP) Cypress domes and wet prairies
(WXHM) Hardwood marsh
The delineation of water areas depends on the scale and resolution
characteristics of the remote-sensor photography used for interpretation.
One definition of water bodies, provided by the Bureau of Census, includes
all areas within the land mass of the United States that are predominantly
or persistently water covered, provided that, if linear, they are at least
1/8 mile (660 feet or 200 meters) wide, and if extended, cover at least
40 acres (16 hectares).
Defining water boundaries at Level III, minimum size has been established
to less than 10 acres. In some instances, water bodies of one acre will
be plotted and identified. Water bodies or those portions of the water
body have emergent vegetation are placed in the Wetland category.
(H) Water
Barren land has very little or no vegetation and limited ability to support
life. In general, it is an area with only soil, sand or rocks. Vegetation,
if present is very widely spaced and scrubby. However, land also may be
temporarily barren due to man's activities. Generally, this land is included
in other land use categories. Vast areas of agricultural land are temporarily
without vegetative cover due to tillage practices, and areas of extractive
and industrial land use have dumps for wastes and tailings. Barren Land
categories are beaches (areas exhibiting little or no evidence of human
encroachment), Extractive operations, Spoil areas, and Levees.
(B) Barren land
(BB) Beaches
(BP) Extractive
(strip mines, quarries, and
gravel pits)
(BS) Spoil areas
(BL) Levees

**************************************************************
Note: The SFWMD LU/LC classification system was developed for
the SFWMD Land Use / Land Cover 1988 GIS database.

**************************************************************
The term "Land cover" describes the features, predominantly vegetation,
that exist over most of the unit of area delineated at the time of interpretation.
These features are in most cases natural vegetation or lithographic features,
but may also be established and maintained artificially, as in the case of
pasture lands, pine plantations, or lagoons. The term "Land use" describes
the activities, management, or cultural importance of a given area. The use
may extend over most of the area and infer physical features (e.g. cemetery),
or it may be based on an abstract property, such as ownership (e.g. institutional).
A guide to using the District's classification system is available.
This is a land use/ land cover map of the SFWMD using 1988 USGS
photography as a source. Parts of Polk and Monroe county are not completed.
For more information about the land cover mapping process at the
District users should look at the metadata for the 1995 and later versions.
Additional information about the NAPP source photography can be found at
USGS internet sites. Users may also contact: The referenced data steward
for this spatial layer, and associated development staff. The metadata specialist
and others on staff at GIS Services Division, SFWMD. The contacts and
resources listed on the District's web site at www.sfwmd.com. The USGS
compendium of information about the South Florida environment at
www.sofia.usgs.gov/metadata/index.html. Users can view additional metadata
details for this and hundreds of other enterprise GIS layers in tabular format by
going to the GIS data catalog under GIS Services at the district intraweb site.

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.
