This GIS 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. Hydric Soils types A (map units that are all hydric soils or have hydric soils as a major component) and B (map units with inclusions of hydric soils or have wet spots) are attributed in this file. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and attribute data. The map data are in a countywide format, based on 7.5 minute quadrangle basemaps, showing the soils of Guilford County North Carolina.They 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. |
