Florida Coastal Everglades LTER - GIS Data and Maps
GIS Data and Maps
Everglades GIS Layers
While some of these layers were created by FCE (FCE LTER sites), most were created by other
organizations. Click on the links below to view
metadata and download information for each layer.
Includes maps showing the location of FCE LTER sites at various resolutions, as well as
other maps. Complete accuracy of maps cannot be guaranteed.
All maps are made available "as is". The Florida
Coastal Everglades LTER shall not be liable for damages
resulting from any use or misinterpretation of maps.
Interactive Everglades Map
Create your own map, search for FCE LTER project and site information, and download GIS layers.
The interactive map includes all of the layers listed under 'Everglades GIS Layers' to the left.
Landsat - 30m (Display scale range = 1:120,000 - 1:250,000) Landsat - 60m (Display scale range = 1:250,000 - 1:500,000) Landsat - 120m (Display scale range = 1:500,000 - 1:2,000,000)
The 15m 2000 Landsat7 false color composite image map produced by the SFWMD was downloaded from the SFWMD's website.
The MrSID image was converted to an ERDAS Imagine image. A subset of the image (the area just north of Lake Okeechobee south to the
Florida Keys) was created using ERDAS Imagine 8.6. The subset image was reprojected from Florida State Plane Coordinate System to
UTM, Zone 17N, WGS84. The image was then resampled to 30m resolution (subsequently divided into 121 tiles), 60m resolution (subsequently divided into 121 tiles), and 120m resolution.
All images were stretched (2 standard deviations) before they were divided into tiles.
