Soil Landscapes of the Blackville 1:100,000 Sheet

Brief description

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of eastern and central NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 or 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the Blackville area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to Australian Soil Classification and Great Soil Group systems.

__Related Datasets:__ The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the [Soil and Land Resources of the Liverpool Plains Catchment](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-and-land-resources-of-the-liverpool-plains-catchmentbc444) and [Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/hydrogeological-landscapes-nsw-act).

__Online Maps:__ This and related datasets can be viewed using [eSPADE](http://espade.environment.nsw.gov.au/) (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the [SEED Map](https://geo.seed.nsw.gov.au/Public_Viewer/index.html?viewer=Public_Viewer&locale=en-AU); an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.
