Soil Landscapes of the Sydney 1:100,000 Sheet

Brief description

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the 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 the Australian Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems.\r\n\r\n__Related Datasets:__ The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment , Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping and Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW .\r\n\r\n__Online Maps:__ This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (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 ; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.\r\n\r\n__References:__ Chapman G.A., Murphy C.L., Tille P.J., Atkinson G. and Morse R.J., 2009, _Soil Landscapes of the Sydney 1:100,000 Sheet_ map, Ed. 4, Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, Sydney.\r\n\r\nChapman G.A. and Murphy C.L., 1989, _Soil Landscapes of the Sydney 1:100,000 Sheet_ report, Soil Conservation Service of NSW, Sydney.
