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.
Survey projects depicted in this coverage vary widely in intensity, 
scope and quality.  Surveys often document only a particular class 
of cultural resource, such as bridges only or archaeological sites 
only.  It CANNOT be assumed that because an area has been surveyed, 
all cultural resources in the area have been identified.  This coverage 
is best used as a spatial index to field surveys reported to the Florida 
Master Site File.

This data layer only represents a subset of all research manuscripts 
on file at the Florida Master Site File and includes archaeological 
and architectural field survey projects.  Other research manuscripts 
on file at the Site File (but NOT represented in this dataset) include: 
archaeological excavation reports, unpublished overviews of groups of 
cultural resources, documents based only on library or archival research, 
detailed reports on standing structures, and survey reports prepared 
by the United States Forest Service for projects carried out on National 
Forest properties.

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

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:
GeoPlan Center created this layer by performing the following steps:

-select SHPO_SURVEYS where CELL <> YES (all non cell tower surveys)
-use erase command to remove SHPO_SURVEYS from COUNTY to produce 
 SHPO_SURVEYS_ERASE1 
-dissolve COUNTY layer to produce COUNTY_DISSOLVE
-buffer COUNTY_DISSOLVE with outside only option - 1000 meters to produce 
 COUNTY_BUFF 
-edit COUNTY_BUFF manually and make sure to cover relics left near edges
-erase SHPO_SURVEYS_ERASE1 with COUNTY_BUFF to create 
 SHPO_NO_SURVEYS

-Added DESCRIPT field based and calculated all records to  "NO FIELD SURVEY 
 PRESENT"
-Added FGDLAQDATE
Process Date: 20191015
