Dan,
Have you tried the US Army Corps of Engineers? They have a mandate to
make sure that those 3000 miles of navigable waterways are in fact
navigable. They would likely have maps for what you need and again,
since it is a public domain issue, you are likely to get them one way or
another. The State of Florida can and should provide those without
causing much heartburn. Recent threads on this list have discussed
various public domain issues as well.
Also, you may want to contact the individual Water Management Districts,
the USF, or companies such as URS, PBS&J, and other
engineering/consulting firms that have mapped those over and over again.
Also, the USGS may have some resources too.
This might get you started, but mapping things like bait shops, boat
ramps, gas stations is not likely something that these government
organizations would have on their base maps, but, you will likely find
them in tabular form or some county plat maps or business records.
Sounds like a fun project. Best of luck.
Anthony

We are a Not for Profit 501(c)(3) (status pending) Public Charity. We
are preparing the budget for the following project: We have found that
the government agencies throughout the State of Florida are either
unable or unwilling to provide to the public, in an easy to understand
form, mapping information about Florida's Public Waterways. As you may
or may not be aware, the State of Florida has approximately three
thousand miles of navigable waterways that include rivers and drainage
canals. What we propose is to put on our Corporate Website, that is
currently under construction, some type of user friendly map information
system divided into two parts.
Part I- This will be a map representation of the specific body of water,
whether it be a canal, river or lake. This representation should
identify the body of water, its location in relation to more well known
landmarks, the boat ramps and docks and in the case of certain
waterways, the location of boat fuel and bait shops. We would post this
on the Public Side of our Corporate Website.
Part II - On the Members Only Section of our Corporate Website, we would
want additional information to include thermal mapping and topographic
contours of the bottom of said waterway. All of this presented in a
three dimensional representation with an easy to use, user interface.
The reasons that we feel this information is necessary is that we
believe fish hold closer to structure (naturally occurring topographic
formations), not cover (sunken tree limbs, boats, piers, docks, etc.)
I realize that this project could be very expensive. What I need to
know is can it be done, how long would it take and how much money would
be required to achieve these goals? We are also looking to assemble a
volunteer committee to develop and supervise the project. If any of you
have thoughts on this that you would like to share or could point us in
a direction to find the information we need, we would greatly appreciate
it. We understand that what you do is an extremely technical and precise
profession. We are, by no stretch of the imagination, map experts.
Come look at our one web page, found at www.flabass.org for a brief
description of our organization and if possible, respond to me at
dposner@flabass.org.
