• October, 2007 distribution to all MOs• Data sets delivered on a 1 Tb hard disk.• Original distribution included NED, SSURGO,

NHD, and miscellaneous (TeleAtlas) features• Distribution in file geodatabase format• SSURGO was current as of August, 2007• Elevation derivatives generated• Data were extracted for SSO areas

Data provided to SSOs

• Soils– SSURGO download from Soil Data Mart in

August, 2007– STATSGO– Soil Survey Area boundaries– National SSURGO Template tables imported

to file geodatabase format

Data provided to SSOs

• TeleAtlas data– Roads, streets, highways, railroads– Places– Postal boundaries – Census districts– Retail locations

Stuff you can and should do with data layers

• Explore relationships in the database

• Use them for developing work plans

• Analyze landscape and landform patterns

Page 10: MLRA Region 13 Core Geospatial Data Layers for Soil Survey Management Areas

Stuff you shouldn’t do with core geospatial layers

• Edit line work

• Worry about topology

• Perform joins between survey areas
