USER NOTES:

These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Polygon geometry is topologically clean.

The boundary of Florida is dependent on the shoreline and/or edges of rivers and bays as delineated on a USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Map. The edges or borders of the boundary might change as the natural land changes or better maps and aerial photography become available. The boundary was not based on legal parcels or definitions.

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

The geologists from the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) involved in the project included Jon Arthur, Richard Green, Guy Means, Jacqueline Lloyd, Ken Campbell, Joel Duncan, Frank Rupert, and Tom Scott. Tom Missimer, Missimer International, Ft. Myers, Florida was part of the mapping team for Charlotte and Lee Counties. Previous mapping provided a basis for this project. Geologists involved in the preliminary mapping included Paulette Bond, Richard Johnson, Ed Lane, Walt Schmidt and Bill Yon.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. 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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

The original data were paper County Geological Maps at 1:100,00 scale. The maps were redrawn in Autocad Version 12 by Jim Jones and Ted Kiper. The projection was Nad27. Process Date: 1992-93 GeoPlan downloaded this data from The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp) in September of 2008. When downloaded the data was in the following projections: GCS_North_American_1983_HARN. - Added DESCRIPT field based on Geology Description found in metadata - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Added PERIOD field based on FORM_CODE description - Renamed FORM_AGG to EPOCH - Deleted fields AREA, PERIMETER, and OBJECTID. - Upcased all fields except FORM_CODE Process Date: 20080925 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20081021
