USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the 
original data layer's topology

The incorporated area is mapped in a uniform and consistent method.

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to 
our knowledge.

County boundaries are used to represent the boundaries of each 
service provider area, as this is a county-wide function.  
All counties in the project area are included.  Sub areas, if 
they exist within or between counties, are not included.

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



This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy 
has not been verified by GeoPlan
County boundaries are generalized in order to show each county 
as a single polygon.  The seaward boundary on the Gulf side 
does not represent the actual coast,  but includes a large strip 
of water attributed to each county.



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



A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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 sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
North Central Florida Regional Planning Council - Process Steps:

The county boundaries available from the US Census Bureau were 
downloaded from the University of Florida Geoplan website at 
www.fgdl.org.  Attribute fields were deleted and added to conform to 
sociocultural data specs.  The attribute fields were populated based 
on information received from the Planning Councils.
February, 2005 to June, 2005
Process Date: 20050601

Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council - Process Steps: The polygons from the St. Johns River Water management District representing county boundaries were downloaded and attributed. They were then exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20060501
GeoPlan Center - Process Steps: GeoPlan received this data, via CDROM, and performed the following: -Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. -Restructured the attribute table to fit the SCE Data Specification Document Standards. -Merged datasets together to create one FDOT District-wide shapefile. -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date FGDL acquired the data from the source. -Added 'DESCRIPT' field based on name. Process Date: 20060614
