OBJECTID Internal feature number.

Shape Feature geometry.

BUFFERDIST Undefined by Source

SITEID This is the official state site number assigned by the Florida Master Site File. The state site number is an eight character string containing a two character county code, a five character numeric code, and an optional single letter character suffix (suffix letter is generally used to indicate sites that are functionally or spatially related).

REFNUM A unique 8 digit number assigned to the resource documentation by the NRHP. This number is the primary key for the NRIS database. The first two digits represent the year the documentation for the resource was received.

RESNAME Primary name for each resource

ADDRESS Address for each resource. Some resources, such as archaeological sites, are address restricted by the NRHP. These resources DO still appear in this data layer.

COUNTY The Florida county in which the resource is located

CITY The city or town nearest to the resource

CERTDATE Date of primary certification in the format YYYYMMDD. For this dataset, CERTDATE represents the date the property was listed on the NRHP.

NHLDATE This field indicates National Historic Landmark status. A value in this field indicates the date the resource was designated a National Historic Landmark (NHL). A null or blank value indicates the resource is NOT a designated NHL.

MULTIPLE If the resource is part of a multiple property submission, multiple resource area or thematic group, the multiple name is listed in this field.

DESCRIPT Based on RESNAME

FGDLAQDATE Date FGDL obtained data from source.

AUTOID Unique ID added by GeoPlan

SHAPE.AREA Area in meters

SHAPE.LEN Perimeter in meters


USER NOTES:
The National Register property location data are based on NR nomination forms, 
site forms and field reports which have been submitted by many and varied 
individuals, groups, institutions, and cultural resource firms.  Submissions to the 
Site File are sometimes accepted from amateurs as well as professionals.  The 
locations are only as accurate as the locational information submitted to the Site 
File by the site recorder.  The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be 
verified.
Data from the Florida Master Site File (FMSF) are continually updated.  New 
properties are added to the NRHP on an ongoing basis.  This data layer is only 
current as of the date of this document.  Contact the Florida Master Site File or visit 
the National Register web site at http://www.nps.gov/nr/ for up-to-date information.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
**SPECIAL NOTE: There are two features listed on the NRHP for Florida that DO 
NOT appear in this dataset.

NRIS REFNUM 72000337 - Tallahassee Historic District Zones I and II. These 
districts have been updated and split into two individually listed districts.  They now 
appear as The Calhoun Street Historic District (REFNUM 79000677, State Site # 
LE00209) and The Park Avenue Historic District (REFNUM 79000681, State Site # 
LE00210).

NRIS REFNUM 89001428 - HA. 19 (Japanese Midget Submarine)
This object is no longer located in the State of Florida.  It was previously located in Key West.

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

The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials,
cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this and other Site File data 
layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes 
only.  State and federal law protects archaeological remains on state or federal 
owned and controlled lands (section 267.13, Florida Statutes).  State law protects 
human burial sites on all lands (sections 872.02 and 872.05, Florida Statutes).

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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Two methods were used to create the polygons in this
dataset When maps were present in the NR nomination or in the Site File
folder for the resource, the polygons were created by on-screen (heads-up)
digitizing in ArcMap or ArcInfo.  Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale
USGS quadrangles and ESRI world imagery map services were used as the
background reference images.  For a few offshore features (such as
lighthouses and shipwrecks), georeferenced, 1:80,000 scale NOAA nautical charts
were used as background reference images.  For a small minority of
resources, maps were not available.  In these cases, UTM coordinates
included in the NR documentation were used to generate the polygons.

Source location data were created by the Division of Historical 
Resources. The boundary data are based on field recording forms, site plots and 
NHRP registration forms submitted to the Site File.  Additional information was 
gathered from the National Register Information System (NRIS).  All attribute data 
(with the exception of the state site number) is taken directly from the NRIS 
database.  NRIS data can be searched or downloaded from the World Wide Web 
at http://www.nps.gov/nr/

When received by GeoPlan, the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: WGS 1984 Units: Decimal Degrees. The shapefile was projected to Albers HARN in ArcToolBox using the following transformation: WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida -Reprojected to Albers HARN -Added DESCRIPT field based on RESNAME to attribute table -Added FGDLAQDATE -Upcased all items in the attribute table -Changed file name to shpo_natl_register_jul19 from NationalRegister Process Date: 20191015
