Description: This map was created by FCIT and represents reported sinkhole events in Florida based on data gathered by the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The legend differentiates between the four colored areas of yellow, green, blue, and pink. Area I, the yellow, covers land that has few sinkholes which are generally shallows, broad, and develop gradually. Area II, the green, covers land that has few sinkholes which are shallow, have small diameters, and develop gradually. Area III, the blue, covers land were the sinkholes are most numerous, vary in size, and develop abruptly. Area IV, the pink, covers land that has very few sinkholes but those that exist are large and deep. " This dataset represents a set of points for reported sinkhole events. The data herein represents reported sinkhole activity but may also contain non-karst related subsidence such as collapsed septic systems, water mains, and/or other man-made features. This information contained in this dataset is primarily used to more fully understand the unique relationship between karst and the state's groundwater resources and aquifer systems." DATA DISCLAIMER This geologic data was developed to carry out agency responsibilities related to management, protection, and development of Florida's natural resources. Neither FDEP/FGS or the Florida Center for Instructional Technology assumes any responsibility for the consequences of inappropriate uses or interpretations of the data.
