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.
Land cover and land use in the St. Johns River Water Management District based on 2013-2016 digital orthophotography. This layer is a copy of the 2009 lulc dataset, with updates based on conditions in the 2013-2016 orthophotography. The previous Photointerpretation Key was also revised and updated for this project.
Source imagery is county imagery flown primarily by FDOT, at varying dates . The 2014 map used the below imagery:
Year Flight Season Counties
2013 (Dec 2012 –Mar 2013) Duval
2014 (Dec 2013 –Mar 2014) Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Nassau,
Osceola, Polk, Putnam, St. John’s
2015 (Dec 2014 –Mar 2015) Brevard, Indian River, Okeechobee, Seminole, Volusia
2016 (Dec 2015 –Mar 2016) Orange
NOTE: Mapping convention made for Marion/Alachua counties. Imagery Dates: Alachua - December 2013 - January 2014; Marion - March 2014 -April 2014. Implications for land cover mapping: We experienced a wetter than average winter, and significant rain fell between Alachua and Marion flight dates. Orange Lake looked very different in areas where the two county imagery datasets overlapped (higher water levels in Marion imagery). We decided on the following mapping convention: always map according to the Marion imagery where it exists.
The 2014 data is mapped to the extent of the previous update in 2009 as far as available imagery allowed.
There is data to the east of Nassau County (outside our District and Water Basin boundaries) where no imagery was available.
The 2014 data extends beyond its previous limit in a few small areas to fulfill an internal staff request.
It continues the historical practice of mapping the portion of the Ocklawaha River Basin in Polk County that was transferred to the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
NOTE: June 2018 Changes to Dataset:
The 2014 dataset was modified in June 2018 based on results from an Accuracy Assessment, These edits changed net acreage counts for some classes as follows:
ACREAGE INCREASES: Class 3300 +2.77 ac / Class 4200 +5.12 ac / Class 5200 +7,254.66 ac / Class 5300 +174,082.38 ac / Class 8350 +122.27 ac
ACREAGE DECREASES: Class 1750 -16.64 ac / Class 2110 -100.00 ac / Class 4110 -3.63 ac / Class 4210 -2.00 ac / Class 5100 -181,337.04 / Class 7400 -7.90 ac

The coding scheme is a modified Florida Land Use/Land Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS). A detailed discussion of the coding scheme can be found in the SJRWMD 2009 Photointerpretation Key. The PI Key lists each class used in the 2014 land use / land cover layer, with a detailed description, keys to photointerpretation, a list of similar classes, special mapping conventions if they exist, a sample DOQ image, and a field picture. SJRWMD staff may access the PI Key through GISDOC (Data, Data Users Guides).
See below for a discussion of the use of LUCODE vs. LCCODE.
Following is a list of valid LCCODE and LUCODE values.

*** LUCODE VS. LCCODE ***
Each feature is required to have two attributes, one emphasizing land
cover (LCCODE) and the second land use (LUCODE). In most cases, these two
values are the same. They differ in a minority of cases where separate cover and
use values are required in order to adequately describe the mapping unit. The
result is a map with dual codes. The LCCODE attribute can be used (mapped,
queried, etc.) alone for a land cover emphasis; LUCODE can be used alone for a
land use emphasis; or both can be used together.
DUAL- CODING CONVENTIONS APPLIED IN THE 2014 DATA LAYER ARE DECRIBED BELOW:
Any polygon described by the following LUCODE values must be assigned a different LCCODE value:
1650 - Reclaimed Mining Lands
1670 - Abandoned Mining Lands
1900 - Open Land
1920 - Inactive Land with Street Pattern but Without Structures
2120 - Unimproved Pasture
2600 - Other Open Lands - Rural
Any polygon described by the following LCCODE values must be assigned a different LUCODE value:
8360 - Other Treatment ponds (non-sewage).
In this case, the LUCODE must be populated with the
associated land use or purpose of the ponds, e.g.
dairy (2520) or cattle feeding operation (2310).
Polygons described by the following LUCODEs may at the discretion of the photointerpreter have differing values for LUCODE and LCCODE:
1180 - Rural Residential (2-5 acres per dwelling unit) - A different LCCODE is only required where the LCCODE is Forested (the 4000
classes) or Shrub and Brushland (3200, 3300). To maintain the 2009 convention that 3100 be used only in natural or non- urban settings,
3100 can no longer be used as a cover type with 1180.

1730 - Military
1750 - Governmental (Kennedy Space Center only)
1800 - Recreational
1850 - Parks and Zoos
2240 - Abandoned Tree Crops
2310 - Cattle Feeding Operations
2320 - Poultry Feeding Operations
2500 - Specialty Farms
2510 - Horse Farms
2520 - Dairies
8340 - Wastewater Treatment Facilities - Areas other than the buildings / facility itself require a separate LCCODE to reflect the type of treatment facility.
