Hydrologic

• Layer Source Name: USFWS National Wetlands Inventory-Polygons-October 2014, FGDL
• Description: This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the conterminous United States. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and near shore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. By policy, the Service also excludes certain types of "farmed wetlands" as may be defined by the Food Security Act or that do not coincide with the Cowardin et al. definition. Contact the Service's Regional Wetland Coordinator for additional information on what types of farmed wetlands are included on wetland maps

Listed Species

• Layer Source Name: U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ONLINE SYSTEM (ECOS) FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES-2016, FGDL
• Description: This data set represents federally-listed species known to be present in each of the counties that make up the North Florida, Panama City, and South Florida Ecological Services Areas of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS) is a gateway website that provides access to data systems in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Service) and other government data sources. This central point of access assists Service personnel in managing data and information, and it provides public access to information from numerous Service databases. As of February 13, 2015, the data in this report has been updated to use a different set of information. Results are based on where the species is believed to or known to occur. The FWS feels utilizing this data set is a better representation of species occurrence. Note: There may be other federally listed species that are not currently known or expected to occur in this state but are covered by the ESA wherever they are found; thus if new surveys detected them in this state they are still covered by the ESA. The FWS is using the best information available on this date to generate this list. The data is not meant as a substitute for site-specific surveys. The code key below and in the User Notes denotes the species designation. Code Key: E=Endangered, T=Threatened, PE=Proposed Endangered, PT=Proposed Threatened, C=Candidate, BGEPA=Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

Conservation Lands

• Layer Source Name: Florida Managed Area – March 2016, FGDL 
• Description: FLORIDA CONSERVATION LANDS (layer name FLMA): This is a polygon data layer for public (and some private) lands that the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) has identified as having natural resource value and that are being managed at least partially for conservation purposes. The term "Managed Area" refers to a managed conservation land.

EDDMaps

• Layer Source Name: EDDMaps
• Layer Source Name: North Florida Mills, 2015
• Layer Source Name: ESRI World Imagery, 2016

Counties

• Layer Source Name: Florida County Boundaries – September 2015, FDGL
• Description: This dataset contains the boundaries of Florida's 67 counties. The interior county boundaries are from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER data. The coastal boundaries are from the previous version of Florida County Boundaries (CNTBND) and are used by Florida Department of Transportation's Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process for display purposes. GeoPlan maintains three county boundary layers: COUNTYSHORE_AREAS, CNTBND, and COUNTY. These three layers will all have the same interior boundaries and different coastal boundaries. The interior boundaries come from the MAF/TIGER Database that is updated yearly by the U.S. Census Bureau. The coastal boundaries differ in the following way: 1) COUNTYSHORE_AREAS - FWRI's detailed shoreline layer (updated periodically); 2) CNTBND - moderately generalized shoreline designed for ETDM display, sourced from historic U.S. Census Bureau data; 3) COUNTY - highly generalized shoreline designed for ETDM display, sourced from historic U.S. Census Bureau data.

Roads

• Layer Source Name: USGS 1:24,000 Roads 
• Description: This coverage contains the digital line graphs (DLG) for the State of Florida as compiled by the Earth Science Information Center of the U.S. Geological Survey. The RDS24 coverage is a subset of all transportation data from the DLG data files derived from the 1:24,000-scale and other large-scale maps. This dataset has been updated from the previous version on Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL) 3.0.
