<p>Development Notes: This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic
data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information
onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information.
This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey
area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in
a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features
layer (point and line features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping
scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units
are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent
of the component soils and their properties. The soil map and data used in the SSURGO product were prepared by soil scientists
as part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey</p> <p>Other: none<b></b></p> <p><b>Related
