USER NOTES:

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.

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

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

GeoPlan downloaded a table describing Florida's Pre-1945 state route numbering system from http://www.us-highways.com. This table includes data for each pre-1945 state route, including the start and finish locations and the year the routes were begun and finished. Additionally, some routes include data referencing the currently labeled roads that pass along the original route. The routing information from this table was applied to the existing road network included in the MAJRDS dataset located in the FGDL. The routes were discerned by combining the data from the downloaded table with the information from the following maps provided by FDOT: 1917 Florida State Road Department Map, the 1924 Rand McNally Texaco Florida Map, the 1927 Rand McNally Florida Map, the 1932 Pan-Am Florida Map, the 1940 Standard Oil Florida Map, the 1949 Florida State Road Department Map, the 1960 Official Florida Road Map, the 1970 Tempo Designs Florida Road Map, the 1979 Florida Official Transportation Map, the 1989 Florida Official Transportation Map, and the 1999 Florida Official Transportation Map. Missing line features were added to the MAJRS data layer from the RDS24 and MAJRDS_JUL06 data layers in the FGDL. Routes including too little information to positively identify the location of the roadway were not added to this data set. Features not included in the Pre-1945 State Route Numbering System were identified by the year in which they first appear on the aforementioned maps. Dates pertaining to Interstate 75 were retrieved from the website http://www.fl-interstate.com/timeline.html. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: -added [ROUTE] field based on the pre-1945 state route numbering system -added [BEGIN] field based on the year the route was begun -added [END] field based on the year the route was finished -added [START] field based on the location the route started -added [FINISH] field based on the location the route finished -added [NOTES] field to note which features were rerouted as part of the Pre-1945 State Route System and to note which year the features not included in the Pre-1945 State Route System first appear on published maps. -added [DESCRIPT] field based on [LOCALNAME]. -added [FGDLAQDATE] field based on the date FGDL acquired the data from the source. Process Date: 20061024
