Description: Land cover and land use in the St. Johns River Water Management District based on 2019-2022 digital orthophotography. This layer is a copy of the 2014 LCLU dataset, with updates based on conditions in the 2019-2022 orthophotography. The Photointerpretation Key accompanying the 2014 dataset remains correct in its classes and their descriptions, but is being revised to reflect the current imagery, data description and mapping process. https://floridaswater.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/00b8a85aa7c742a1898f520a3da53162/dataSource imagery is county imagery flown primarily by FDOT, at varying dates. The 2020 map used the below dates of capture for the various counties: Year Flight Season Counties2020 Dec. 2019 - Mar. 2020 Alachua, Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Osceola, Polk, Putnam2021 Dec. 2020 - Mar. 2021 Brevard, Indian River, Nassau, Okeechobee, Orange, St. Johns, Seminole, Volusia2022 Dec. 2021 - March 2022 Bradford, UnionThe 2020 data is mapped to the extent of the previous 2014 dataset as far as available imagery allowed.IMAGERY NOTE: Security restrictions in effect during the COVID 19 epidemic prohibited aerial imagery capture over the easternmost portion of Brevard County (USGS Quarter Quads 3705 (False Cape) and 3606 NE (Cape Canaveral). A private contractor has this area in his project plan, but as of June 2024 imagery is not yet available. Land cover data in this area has not been updated. CODING NOTE: The requirement for the Land Use Class 1180 Rural Residential to have a separate Land Cover code was eliminated, and the class was revised to reflect the PI Key description as a Land Use class. It was noted during this update that this 1180 class was misapplied in many cases in the previous update as far as both areal extent and size. The PI Key describes this class in part as "not intended to be applied to small patchy features in the landscape." Many polygons were either merged together, or where appropriate, merged into adjacent low density residential areas. This data layer was developed to support many of the District's critical projects or programs, including Pollution Load Reduction Goal Development, Land Acquisition, Land Management, Water Supply Planning, Floodplain Management, and Surface and Ground Water Quality Monitoring. Wetlands identified in this layer should only be used for general reference, not for legal purposes or detailed analysis. Local determinations always require field inspection.This update continues the District's historical practice of mapping the portion of Ocklawaha River Basin in Polk County that was transferred to the Southwest Florida Water Management District. This is an update to the FGDL layer LU_SJRWMD_2014_JUN18.
