ITEM           ITEM DESCRIPTION

SHAPE          Data attribute inherent to the ESRI shapefile format,
               which defines the data as a point, line or polygon.

AREA           Area of polygon in coverage units.

PERIMETER      Perimeter in coverage units

SURVEYNUM      Number assigned to the survey for relating to the acquistion list.

SURVEYNUM1     Second assigned number to survey after an exchange or other
               transaction.

PAR_NAME       Name of smallest unit of ownership and typically the purchasing
               unit. If the parcel is part of a subdivision, the subdivision
               name is used rather than the lot name.

PRO_NAME       Project name-A project is a major land unit designated for acquisition
               ownership.

MA_NAME        Official name of the managed land unit as determined by managing
               agency. Typically named by conservation area.

ACQ_TYPE       Type of acquisition
               FEE = Fee Simple
               LFS = Less than Fee Simple
               SRR = SRWMD Restricted Easement
               SRU = SRWMD Unrestricted Easement
               OUT = Outparcel, parcel within polygon of owned land that is not owned by the
                     district
               EAS = Easement from SRWMD to someone else

CLOSE_DATE     Closing date for the parcel

GIS_UPDATE     Date of last GIS modification

GIS_UPDATE2    Date of last GIS modification

GIS_UPDATE3    Date of last GIS modification

SOURCE         1 = digitized 1:24,000 quad maps
               2 = digitized 1:100,000 quad maps
               3 = digitized from non-geo-referenced parcel maps
               4 = CADD or cogo based files
               5 = Onscreen digitizing using geo-referenced data
               6 = Onscreen digitizing using non-geo-referenced data
               7 = Other

COMMENT        Describes polygon history pertinent to that polygon or attribute
               table.

GIS_AC         Report of acres based on GIS calculations rather than survey
               calculations.

SURVEYOR       Name of the surveyor who did the survey work for the tract.

SELGAL         Legal description of the boundary.

CO             Name of county tract/parcel is in.

DESCRIPT       FGDL added item based on PAR_NAME

USER NOTES:

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets are 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 section and the
Data Source Contact section of this documentation.  For more information
regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at:

These data are based on interpretation of available information and should
not be construed as legally binding.

FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:

-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below)
-Upcased all character records
-Changed original file name from "sorland531" to "srwmdl"
-DESCRIPT item was added based on the item PAR_NAME
-Deleted empty fields LEASE, MAN_BY, and TH_PARTY
