SFWMD Land Use 2012 - LWC and UEC Update

This polygon feature class documents the extent and type of land use within the Lower West Coast (LWC) and the Upper East Coast (UEC)Planning Regions of the South Florida Water Management District as it existed in 2011-2012. Land Use data were updated from 2008-09 LCLU by photo-interpretation from 2011-2013 aerial photography and classified using the SFWMD modified FLUCCS classification system. Features were interpreted from the county-based aerial photography (1 ft pixel) and updated on screen from the 2008-09 vector data. Horizontal accuracy of the data corresponds to the positional accuracy of the county aerial photography. The minimum mapping unit for classification was 2 acres for wetlands and 5 acres for uplands. The update was completed on 11/13/2014. This dataset was previously referred to as the 2014 update. The classification system used for this project was the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS), which was originally compiled by the Florida Department of Transportation, State Topographic Bureau. The classification system was amended by the District for use on this project and these amendments are described within this document. Only Land Use was considered for this project. https://geoext.geoapps.sfwmd.gov/TPubs/2012_Land_Use_FLUCCs_Codes.pdf
