Description: This is a map from the Southwest Florida Watershed Management District or SWFWMD of the Manatee River watershed distribution of conservation lands, created on December 5, 2000. The following ownership classifications are shown by color: Federal Ownership (yellow), State Ownership (brown), Local Government Ownership (teal), Private Conservation Lands (dark blue), Proposed District Acquisition (purple), District Ownership (green), and Less Than Fee (dashes). Less Than Fee means that someone has ownership, but with restricted rights because it is also conservation land. It also shows the Watershed Management boundary shown by the thick black line, US/State roads, inland water and county boundaries. "These data were obtained from two different sources. District Owned lands were automated using coordinate geometry methods. Proposed District acquisitions were digitized from maps of 1:24,000 to 1:500,000 scale. Lands in other ownership were obtained from Florida Natural Areas Inventory Tallahassee, Florida and are current as of August 1998." —Southwest Florida Watershed Management District
