This dataset contains the location of various saltmarshes in the State of Florida. Source 1999, See DATE item for automation. Additional information provided by the Suwannee River and Southwest Florida Water Management Districts. Delineated wetland boundaries are manually transferred from interpreted photos to USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps and then manually labelled. Quality control steps occur throughout the photointerpretation, map compilation, and map reproduction processes.
Files contain ground planimetric coordinates and wetland attributes.
The determination of scanning versus manual digitizing production method was based on feature density, source map quality, feature symbology, and availability of production systems. The data were checked for position by comparing plots of the digital data to the source material.
