Description:

Abstract:
This GIS data set contains Florida county boundaries found on the most recent 7.5-minute USGS (1:24000 scale) quadrangles available in 1997. The county borders extend to the state water line. The linework along the state borders with Alabama and Georgia exactly matches FMRI's 1:40K shoreline.
Purpose:
Use county boundaries for graphical purposes as well as some analyses.
Supplemental Information: There is a problem with the county line between Manatee and Hillsborough. Linework in the water is arbitrary and may not reflect actual submerged boundaries.
Status:

Progress: Complete
Maintenance and Update Frequency: As needed
