 Pre-Settlement Land Cover Mapping From GLOS Records Track: Ecology and Conservation Author(s): Alvan Karlin, Keith Albury, Lauren Shapiro Recent environmental regulation in Florida, specifically studies relative to Minimum Flows and Levels legislation, has focused renewed interest on understanding pre-settlement land use patterns. This paper outlines the procedures used and highlights some of the difficulties we encountered in constructing a pre-settlement land cover map from Governemnt Land Office Survey (GLOS) records and recent soil surveys. The study was performed on a 27-square-mile tract in the phosphate mining region of central Florida.
