- Abstract:
- The STATSGO database is a digital general
soil association map developed by the National Cooperative Soil
Survey. It consists of a broad based inventory of soils and
nonsoil areas that occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape
and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped.
The soil maps for STATSGO are compiled by generalizing more
detailed soil survey maps. Where more detailed soil survey maps
are not available, data on geology, topography, vegetation,
and climate are assembled, together with Land Remote Sensing
Satellite (LANDSAT) images. Soils of like areas are studied,
and the probable classification and extent of the soils are
determined. Map unit composition for a STATSGO map is determined
by transecting or sampling areas on the more detailed maps and
expanding the data statistically to characterize the whole map
unit. The original data set consists of georeferenced digital
map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are collected
in 1- by 2-degree topographic quadrangle units and merged and
distributed as statewide coverages. The soil map units are linked
to attributes in the Map Unit Interpretations Record relational
data base which gives the proportionate extent of the component
soils and their properties.
This data set provides a soil association map in ARCVIEW Shapefile Format for the Conterminous United States. The shapefile is prepared and distributed by EPA regions. Selected attribute related tables which contain soil properties are provided. This data set is a subset of the original STATSGO data set developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
- Purpose:
- STATSGO depicts information about soil
features on or near the surface of the Earth. These data are
collected as part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. STASGO
is designed primarily for regional, multi-county, riverbasin,
state, and multi-state regional planning, management, and monitoring.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain
relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological
requirements. (The GT-polygon corresponds to the soil delineation).
Some of these requirements include; chains must begin and end at
nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not
extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for
each chain element and are consistent throughout, and the chains
representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps.
The tests of logical consistency are performed using vendor software.
The neatline is generated by connecting the explicitly entered four
corners of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region
are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight
lines are clipped at the neatline. Data within a specified tolerance
of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening
aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated
neatline (i.e., with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic
coordinates). All internal polygons are tested for closure with
vendor software and are checked on hard copy plots. All data are
checked for common soil lines (i.e., adjacent polygons with the
same label). Quadrangles are edge matched within the state, merged
into a statewide data sets, and then edge matched to adjacent state
data sets. Edge locations do not deviate from centerline to centerline
by more than 0.01 inches.
- Completeness_Report:
- A map unit is a collection of areas defined
and named the same in terms of their soil and/or nonsoil areas.
Each map unit differs in some respect from all others in a survey
area and is uniquely identified. Each individual area is a delineation.
Each map unit consists of one to 21 components. In those few areas
where detailed maps did not exist, reconnaissance soil surveys were
combined with data on geology, topography, vegetation, climate,
and remote sensing images to delineate map units and estimate the
percentages of components. The STATSGO map unit components are soil
series phases, and their percent composition represents the estimated
areal proportion of each within STATSGO map unit. The composition
for a map unit is generalized to represent the statewide extent
of that map unit and not the extent of any single map unit delineation.
These specifications provide a nationally consistent representation
of STATSGO attribute data. The actual composition and interpretive
purity of the map unit delineations were based on statistical analysis
of transect data. The composition was largely determined by measuring
transects on detailed soil survey maps. The number of transects
used was proportional to the relative size, number, and complexity
of the delineations. The combined data on the length of the map
units crossed by the transects were used to determine the percentages
of the different soil and nonsoil areas in each map unit. Specific
limits were established on the classification of soils and the design
and name of map units. These limits are outlined in U.S. Department
of Agriculture. 1975. Soil Taxonomy: A basic system of soil classification
for making and interpreting soil surveys. Soil Conserv. Serv., U.S.

- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- The accuracy of these digital data
is based upon their compilation to base maps that meet National
Map Accuracy Standards. The difference in positional accuracy
between the map unit boundaries in the field and their digitized
map locations is unknown. The locational accuracy of soil
delineations on the ground varies with the transition between
map units. For example, in areas where changes in soils,
climate, topography, and geology occur subtly across a portion
of a state, the transition between soil map unit boundaries
will be gradual. Where these features change abruptly, such
as from an area of foothills to a lake plain, the transition
will be very narrow. Soil delineation boundaries were digitized
within 0.01 inches of their locations on the digitizing
source. The digital map elements are edge matched between
data sets. The data along each state boundary are matched
against the data for the adjacent state. Edge locations
generally do not deviate from centerline to centerline by
more than 0.01 inch.

- Process_Description:
- Soil map unit lines and symbols were drafted in red pencil on a mylar overlay that was punch registered to fit the mylar USGS 1:250,000-scale topographic quadrangle. A detailed and complete edit was performed on all overlays before digitizing. The soil delineation overlays were raster scanned at a scanning resolution of at least 0.01 inches and converted to a vector format or were manually digitized on a digitizing tablet with a resolution of at least 0.001 inches. Four control points corresponding to the four corners of the quadrangles were used for registration during data collection. The control points were either explicitly entered or developed by the software. The data sets were edge matched and merged into statewide coverages. A detailed and complete edit was performed on all digital data. Source Used Citation Abbreviation: USGS1, SCS3

- Process_Description:
- The original state by state Arc/Info coverages were converted from their original projections (e.g. mostly Albers Conic Equal area with datum NAD27) to geographic decimal degrees projection with datum NAD 83. They were then converted to Arcview shape files using the Arc/Info ARCSHAPE command. Two related tables in Arcview DBF format were prepared to contain selected fields (i.e. soil properties) in the COMP and LAYER tables of the STATSGO database. For distribution with BASINS 2.0, the data layer was divided by EPA regions (i.e. distribution by CD). This involved merging the state by state shape files in Arcview to produce the EPA regional shape files. Other form of data distribution (e.g. by cataloging unit) is available through the web (<http://www.epa.gov/OST/BASINS).>

- Overview_Description:
-
- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
- Map Unit Delineations are closed polygons
that are generally geographic mixtures of groups of soils or
soils and nonsoil areas. The map unit ID uniquely identifies
each closed delineation, map unit. Each map unit ID is linked
to a map unit name. The map unit ID is also the key for linking
information in the Map Unit Interpretations Record tables.
Map Unit Delineations are described by the Map Unit Interpretations Record data base. This attribute data base gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and the properties for each soil. The data base contains both estimated and measured data on the physical and chemical soil properties and soil interpretations for engineering, water management, recreation, agronomic, woodland, range and wildlife uses of the soil. The Soil Map Unit Interpretations Record data base consist of the following relational tables; codes (data base codes) - stores information on all codes used in the data base comp (map unit component) - stores information which will apply to a specific component of a soil map unit compyld (component crop yield) - stores crop yield information for soil map unit components forest (forest understory) - stores information for plant cover as forest understory for soil map unit components interp (interpretation) - stores soil interpretation ratings (both limitation ratings and suitability ratings) to soil map unit components layer (soil layer) - stores characteristics which apply to soil layers for soil map unit components mapunit (map unit) - stores information which applies to all components of a soil map unit plantcom (plant composition) - stores plant symbols and percent of plant composition associated with components of soil map units plantnm (plant name) - stores the common and scientific names for plants used in the data base rsprod (range site production) - stores range site production information for soil map unit components taxclass (taxonomic classification) - stores the taxonomic classification for soils in the data base windbrk (windbreak) - stores information on recommended windbreak plants for soil map unit components wlhabit (wildlife habitat) - stores wildlife habitat information for soil map unit components woodland (woodland) - store information on common indicator trees for soil map unit components woodmgt (woodland management) - stores woodland management information for soil map unit components yldunits (yield units) - stores crop names and the units used to measure yield
For distribution with BASINS v2.0, only comp and layer related tables are included.
