About Labins
Mission
To distribute survey-related data to the general surveying community
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Division of State Lands, Bureau of Survey and Mapping
The Land Boundary Information System (LABINS) began in 1984 as a means for distributing survey-related data that is maintained and managed by federal and state agencies to the general surveying community. The original system was on main-frame computers that used dial-in modems for communications. The system soon migrated to the personal computer environment and delivered to surveyors on floppy disks and CD-ROM.
Today LABINS is available over the Internet and has been greatly enhanced by the addition of digital images of many of the original documents that support the textual data bases. Putting public data into the hands of the people who can use and benefit from it the most is the goal of the Bureau of Survey and Mapping and the developers of the software, the Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis Center (FREAC).
