FLORIDA RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS CENTER 20030101 vector digital data FLORIDA RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS CENTER State of Florida The Public Land Survey System is a legal land reference system created to facilitate the inventory and transfer of property. This system is divided into township, range, and sections. This shapefile contains PLSS boundaries to the section level, while PLSS_TR contains PLSS boundaries to the township and range level. This polygon shapefile was created to facilitate the inventory and transfer of property. 20030101 publication date Complete As needed -87.639410 -79.872549 31.042833 24.480337 None planningCadastre None TRS PLSS Townships Ranges ISO 19115 Topic Categories planningCadastre None Florida None THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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.

This data set was modified by GeoPlan center in 2002 using GIS techniques to summarize sections. This eliminated many slivers and drastically reduced the size of the dataset. This causes the county boundry field in the shapefile to be slightly inaccurate. Sections that cross over county boundary lines will only get one county name. This data set documents how the original PLSS looked when it was created in the early 1800's. This, along with the original field notes, serve as the documentation for many legal boundaries in Florida. These boundaries are set and the data layer will not change.

Source data was converted to coverage. The data then existed in previous versions of FGDL (i.e. FGDL V3 or less) as county data sets. The coverages were merged together. Next the eliminate command was run in Arcinfo Workstation. Then the Coverage was converted to a shapefile and a dissolve was excuted. The dissolve was used in order to change all sections with multiple polygons into one section. unknown GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers, (2) set Precision to DOUBLE, (3) set Tolerances to FGDL Standards, and (4) added DESCRIPT item based on 'TRS_LIBRAR'.
