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.

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the worldwide Internal administrative boundaries data from the Natural Earth website (http://www.naturalearthdata.com/) on February 21st, 2011. http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/10m-admin-1-states-provinces-shp.zip The 10m-admin-1-states-provinces-shp.zip contained the following layer, and it was in the GCS_WGS_1984 projection. 10m_admin_1_states_provinces_shp.shp A Southeastern Area Extents box was created for the focus area in the GCS_WGS_1984 projection. Next the worldwide Internal administrative boundaries layer features who's boundaries fell within the southeastern focus area were selected out. This layer was then reprojected to the FGDL albers projection NAD83 HARN. Once in the FGDL albers projection this layer was then Dissolved based on NAME. Next this newly created layer was renamed to southeast_iabnd.shp A DESCRIPT field was then added based on NAME. A FGDLAQDATE field was also added and populated. Process Date: 20110225 |
