This dataset contains the boundaries of Florida's 67 counties. The interior county boundaries are from the US Census Bureau's TIGER data. The coastal boundaries are from the previous version of CNTBND and are used by Florida Department of Transportation's Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process for display purposes. GeoPlan maintains 3 county boundary layers: COUNTYSHORE_AREAS, CNTBND, and COUNTY. These 3 layers will all have the same interior boundaries and different coastal boundaries. The interior boundaries come from the MAF/TIGER Database that is updated yearly by the US Census Bureau. The coastal boundaries differ in the following way: 1) COUNTYSHORE_AREAS - FWRI's detailed shoreline layer (updated periodically) 2) CNTBND - moderately generalized shoreline designed for ETDM display, sourced from historic US Census Bureau data 3) COUNTY - highly generalized shoreline designed for ETDM display, sourced from historic US Census Bureau data |
