Description: This is a map from the Southwest Florida Watershed Management District or SWFWMD of the Hillsborough River watershed distribution of 1990 urban land use within the FEMA 100-year flood zone created on October 1, 1999. The following urban land use classifications are shown by color: single or multi-family (red), commercial/office/military (purple), industrial (gray), mining (brown), and urban undetermined (beige). It also shows the Watershed Management boundary shown by the thick black line, US/State roads, inland water and county boundaries. "Land use and cover data were interpreted from 1:24,000 and 1:40,000 scale color infrared aerial photographs taken between November of 1989 and March of 1991. Land use and cover data are classified utilizing the Florida Department of Transportation Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification (FLUCCS) System. The flood zone information was digitized from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panels. These data were overlayed in the District's GIS to obtain the areas of urban development within the 100-year flood plain in 1990. These data are intended to provide a generalized view of this region." —Southwest Florida Watershed Management District
