Abstract:

Groundwork for a new geologic map of Florida began in the
1980s with a county-level mapping effort as part of a
statewide radon investigation. The county maps created for
the radon project were merged and modified to produce a new
State map. The geologists from the Florida Geological
Survey (FGS) involved in the project included Jon Arthur,
Richard Green, Guy Means, Jacqueline Lloyd, Ken Campbell,
Joel Duncan, Frank Rupert, and Tom Scott. Tom Missimer,
Missimer International, Ft. Myers, Florida was part of the
mapping team for Charlotte and Lee Counties. Previous mapping
provided a basis for this project. Geologists involved in the
preliminary mapping included Paulette Bond, Richard Johnson,
Ed Lane, Walt Schmidt and Bill Yon.

Purpose:

To produce a new State Geological Map

Data Quality Information:

Attribute accuracy:

Attribute accuracy report:

All attributes created during the creation process were
visually verified by 2 geologists and a GIS personnel.

Logical consistency report:

These data are believed to be logically consistent, though
no tests were performed. Polygon geometry is topologically clean.

Completeness report:

The boundary of Florida is dependent on the shoreline and/or edges of
rivers and bays as delineated on a USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Map.
The edges or borders of the boundary might change as the natural land
changes or better maps and aerial photography become available. The
boundary was not based on legal parcels or definitions.

Positional accuracy:

Horizontal positional accuracy:

Horizontal positional accuracy report:

Varies from several hundred feet to one-half mile
