Feature geometry. |
|
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). |
|
SITENAME |
The site name as recorded at the Florida Master Site File. Usually the principal or best known name for a cultural resource. A site name of "NN" indicates no name has been designated for the site. |
|
ADDRESS |
The street address of the site, including the number, prefix direction if relevant, and street name. |
|
DESTROYED |
A Yes value indicates that the resource is documented as destroyed/demolished in Site File records. |
|
SURVEYNUM |
The serial number assigned by the Site File to the manuscript produced by the project which identified or reexamined the cultural resource. Not all sites have an associated report or manuscript. |
|
ARCHITECT |
The name of the architect, designer, builder, landscape architect, or artist responsible for the actual DESIGN of the building, structure, or object being documented. A blank value for this field indicates that this information is not known or is not recorded in the Florida Master Site File database. |
|
YEARBUILT |
The year of actual construction, as documented or estimated. A "C" (circa) indicates the year given is only roughly known or estimated. A "+" indicates the year given is the earliest possible year of construction. A "-" indicates that the year given is the latest possible year of construction. A blank value for this field indicates that this information is not known or is not recorded in the Florida Master Site File database. |

|
SURVEVAL |
Surveyor's evaluation of the cultural resource's eligibility for the National Register when the resource is considered as an independent entity - not as a component or "contributing property" to a potential district. |
|
SURVDIST |
Surveyor's evaluation of cultural resource's eligibility for the National Register as part of a district or thematic group. |
|
SHPOEVAL |
Evaluation of Florida's State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concerning the eligibility of the resource for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In Florida, the SHPO is the Director of the Division of Historical Resources, acting through staff in the Bureau of Historic Preservation (BHP). Generally the Site File database only contains evaluations made by the Compliance Review staff of BHP. Some properties may be listed on the NRHP without having been reviewed by Compliance Review staff. Therefore, an NR list date (indicating a property is NR listed) takes priority over a 'Not Evaluated by SHPO' value in this field. Values in this field are limited to a discrete list of possibilities used in the Site File database lookup table. Contact the Site File for more information. |
|
D_NRLISTED |
Date that the property was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The field is blank if the FMSF database does not indicate the property is National Register listed. |
|
PLOTMTHD |
Indicates whether the structure was address Matched(M) by DHR, on-screen Digitized(D) by DHR, or automated by an external individual or organization(X). Refer to the discussion of data derivation methods for more details. |

MGRS |
Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) Coordinate of the Facility. The MGRS is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on the earth. The MGRS provides a means to represent any location on the surface of the Earth using an alphanumeric string. Hierarchical references are based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. http://mgrs-data.org/ |

This data set updates and replaces all previous versions of the Florida Master Site File historical structures data layer. This version incorporates newly recorded structures and updates of previously recorded locations and attributes. Data from the Florida Master Site File are continually updated. On average, the Site File processes over 6,000 additional historic structure forms each year. This data layer is only current as of the date of this document. Contact the Florida Master Site File for updated data layers. |

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.

Source data were created by the Division of Historical Resources. The original location information is based on field reports and address data which have been submitted to the Florida Master Site File 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 accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified. Structure locations in this data layer were automated using one of three methods; address matching by DHR, on-screen digitizing by DHR, or automated by an external party. The PLOT_MTHD field indicates whether a structure was address matched(M) by the FMSF, digitized(D) by the FMSF, or automated externally(X). Roughly 60% of the structure locations (statewide) were generated by address matching. The address matching was carried out using the geocoding function of ArcView 3.0a. Addresses were matched against the ESRI U.S. Street Database(1997). The line data for the ESRI database (based on Tiger line data) was digitized at a 1:100,000 scale. Due to the small scale and numerous attribute errors in the reference street data, the geocoding process resulted in typical positional errors (as spot-checked against surveyor provided maps) of 20 to 100 meters with occasional larger errors possible. In some cases this results in a structure location point appearing on the wrong side of the street or in the wrong block when displayed against a scanned 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle. It is recommended that the data user compare the locations of the address matched structures to the ESRI U.S. Street Database and other background layers(such as scanned quads) to most accurately interpret locational information. Not all structures and addresses adequately matched the ESRI U.S. Street Database. Structures which did not address match were on-screen digitized in ArcView 3.0a, 3.1 and 3.2 using scanned, georeferenced (geographic coordinates, NAD27) USGS 1:24,000 quadrangles as a background. Location information for these structures was culled from a variety of sources, including: surveyor-provided maps (the vast majority fall into this category), verbal location descriptions included on the site form, commercially available street atlases, county road maps, county property appraiser databases, city directories, and direct telephone contact with surveyors or property owners. The accuracy of the digitized locations is, in general, somewhat better than that of the address matched structures. However the overall coverage should be considered a 1:100,000 scale data layer. A small number of structure locations in this data set were automated by an outside entity. In general, these locations are deemed by the Site File to be of better quality/accuracy than those address matched by DHR. After the data layers had been completed they were converted from ArcView shapefiles to ArcInfo coverages using the SHAPEARC command in ArcInfo 7.1. In September 2003, the base coverages were converted to an ESRI personal geodatabase format and are currently maintained in geodatabase format. In December 2014 the datum of the base data layer was translated from NAD27 to WGS84 using ArcGIS 10.2.1 and a composite transformation (NAD27 to NAD83 NADCON & NAD83 to WGS84 ITRF00).
