      <abstract>This dataset is a digitization of the 17" x 21" paper Map titled "Sinkhole Type, Development and Distribution in Florida", also known as Map Series 110, and contains descriptions and soil compositions of Florida sinkholes.</abstract>
      <purpose>Sinkholes are a natural and common geologic feature in areas underlain by limestone and other rock types that are soluble in natural water. The term sinkhole is used for closed depressions in the land surface that are formed by surficial solution or by subsidence or collapse of surficial materials owing to the solution of near-surface limestone or other soluble rocks. Discussion here refers to sinkhole occurence in limestone and dolomite, the most common rock types in Florida. This shapefile is a based on the 17" x 21" paper Map titled "Sinkhole Type, Development and Distribution in Florida" also known as Map Series 110 and published 1985 by United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, Bureau of Water Resources Management and Florida Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Geology.</purpose>

    <useconst>THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html</useconst>

        <procdesc>1. Used Adobe Acrobat digital version of Map titled "Sinkhole Type, Development and Distribution in Florida", also known as Map Series 110 and published 1985 by Florida Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Geology and exported as uncompressed TIFF image at 300 Dot per inch. 2. Used Autocad Map 2000 to "Rubbersheet" the image using the intersections of countylines on the TIFF with the intersections of the vector county coverage from Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Bureau of Information Services (BIS). This vector coverage was digitized from scanned Noaa Charts and 1:24k Digital Line Graphs according to BIS metadata. A rough check of the rubbersheeted image showed differences of no more than 2000 meters plus or minus which were judged by Tom Scott to be not significant. 3. Brought "Rubbersheeted" image into Arcview 3.2a and digitized polygons to match the Areas shown as Areas I, II, III and IV. Then "clipped" the polygons with the said vector county coverage using Arcview 3.2a Geoprocessing wizard.</procdesc>
