Special Soil Point Features - NRCS Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) data base for Appomattox County, Virginia
National Park Service - Appomattox Court House NHP. 2000. Special Soil Point Features - NRCS Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) data base for Appomattox County, Virginia. Richard Easterbrook
This data set is a digital soil survey and is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was collected 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 7.5 minute quadrangle format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and nonsoil areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. Also included is a special soil features layer (point and line features) that displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but that are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the Map Unit Interpretations Record relational data base, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.
