Native_Data_Set_Environment: ArcGIS 8+ Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: From the USGS Florida District Data Reliabilty Disclaimer - Information about the site location have been entered into the various computer databases over the decades using the latest maps and location information available at the time. Some locations are updated as the necessary, but some older, discontinued sites may not have had the site information checked or updated since the last update. Information such as latitude and longitude, county, and other data may not be accurate by today's standard or information. Logical_Consistency_Report: All points have been attributed with coordinate information. Completeness_Report: Some attributes do not contain a value, as the fields were nulled when the data were downloaded. There is no known gaps in the data. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of the horizontal positions is dependent of the accuracy of the original data set, which is unknown.
