- Abstract:
-
This GIS data set represents the locations of the county seat cities in Florida. This file is based on the county seat name information that the Florida Association of Counties provides on their Web site (<http://www.fl-counties.com/>), and the point locations of the cities are from the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this data set is to represent county seat locations in Florida, as points. These data are for cartographic reference only.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
