Soil Data |
||||
Soil data for the Lake Tahoe area are now available online! The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soil maps are available from the SSURGO database. The following info files regarding soil data are from the NRCS website ( http://www.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov):
Data DownloadSoil data are in UTM NAD27 zone 10 projection. Raw (original) data are in the following projections: data east of 120 degrees longitude are in UTM zone 11 and data west of 120 degrees longitude are in UTM zone 10. It is not possible to combine different projections in Geographic Information System (GIS), therefore, all data have been reprojected into one standard projection, UTM NAD27 zone 10 projection, for the Lake Tahoe Basin. The following soil data have been mosaicked together from the18 7.5-minute quadrangles that cover the Lake Tahoe Basin. The mosaicked files are more convenient for looking at areas throughout the basin or areas on the edge of two quadrangles.
