USER NOTES:







GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.












The property included in this dataset on an island known by BLM and Lathrop Bayou and identified as Raffield Island on the USGS 7.5 minute Allanton Quadrangle.  The island is located in Section 22, T. 5S., R. 12W., Tallahassee Meridian, Florida.













A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:24000 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.

1:250000 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 sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY: 









All points were collected by BLM with a Trimble GeoExplorer 
3C GPS unit.  Points for trees 1 to 17 were collected on May 
15th and July 17th, 2002.  Points for trees 18 to 21 were 
collected on December 19, 2002.  The point for tree 22 was 
collected on May 11, 2003.  The points were either collected 
with a real time differential correction receiver or post processed 
for differential correction.  These points have a one to five 
meter accruacy.
