SFWMD Land Use 1995

A series of land use (LU) maps have been produced by the SFWMD since the early 1970s. It was produced by photointerpretation of 1:40,000 USGS NAPP color infrared photography. The work was carried out by multiple contractors, with significant input and review by a community of stakeholders at the District. The contract was managed by the Technical Resources Team (TRT) at SFWMD. The classification system is a modified version of the statewide FLUCCS (Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System) maintained by FDOT. This modified version uses classes that are mainly at the community level, but also includes a number of species of concern. Modifications and corrections have been made to the map since its creation. There is no formal assessment of accuracy parameters for this layer. Please note that there are several polygons that have a "0" FLUCCS code that represent gaps and slivers in the data. These polygons will be corrected during the next round of SFWMD Data Cleanup.
