SFWMD Land Cover Land Use 2008-2009

This data set serves as documentation of land cover and land use (LCLU) within the South Florida Water Management District as it existed in 2008-09. Land Cover Land Use data was updated from 2004-05 LCLU by photo-interpretation from 2008-09 aerial photography and classified using the SFWMD modified FLUCCS classification system. Features were interpreted from the county-based aerial photography (4 in - 2 ft pixel) and updated on screen from the 2004-05 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 07/11/2011 (version 1.0). The "wet prairie" (6430) category was added back into the database on 01/18/2012, for areas that were classified as wet prairie in the 2004-5 LCLU and had been converted to freshwater marsh (6410) for the 2008-9 LCLU (version 1.1).
