WIN-PST 3.1 Soils
WIN-PST 3.1 takes soils directly from the SSURGO soils database (SSURGO Version
2.1 format).
Within NRCS:
The SSURGO database is either found in Section II of the Field Office
Guide or on the 'F:' or 'G:' drives (e.g., F:\geodata\soils). Some states
have placed the SSURGO data in other places. Contact your state's soil,
GIS, or ITS staff for the correct drive and folder.
Partners or those without access to network drives:
Users can download the soils data from the
Soil Data Mart.
The SSURGO database can be placed anywhere on your computer. Make sure that if
you have a laptop, that you don’t put it on a remote shared drive that
is not available when you are not connected to the LAN (Local Area
Network.) For more detailed information on working with Data Mart soils
including populating the empty SSURGO template with soils data, see
WIN-PST User Help Topic "Databases -> SSURGO Database".
