Soil Data Viewer
Soil Data Viewer is a tool built as an extension to ArcMap that allows a user
to create soil-based thematic maps. The application can also be run independent
of ArcMap, but output is then limited to a tabular report.
The soil survey attribute database associated with the spatial soil map is a
complicated database with more than 50 tables. Soil Data Viewer provides users
access to soil interpretations and soil properties while shielding them from the
complexity of the soil database. Each soil map unit, typically a set of
polygons, may contain multiple soil components that have different use and
management. Soil Data Viewer makes it easy to compute a single value for a map
unit and display results, relieving the user from the burden of querying the
database, processing the data and linking to the spatial map.
Soil Data Viewer contains processing rules to enforce appropriate use of the
data. This provides the user with a tool for quick geospatial analysis of soil
data for use in resource assessment and management.
