Indiana Soils Program
On
January 19, 2007, 105 years of Indiana soil survey
work was completed when the digital soils data for Warren County, Indiana
was posted to the Soil Data Warehouse, bringing digital
soils coverage for Indiana to 100%. The 1902, Posey County, Indiana
soil survey report was the first published soil survey in Indiana.
The
National Cooperative Soil Survey program is a joint effort
of the Natural Resources Conservation
Service and other federal and state agencies, including
Purdue University,
and the
Forest Service.
Soils data for Indiana are found at the
Web Soil Survey and
the
Soil Data Mart. From Web Soil Survey you can view soils maps, make thematic maps, run
reports and view Soil Survey manuscripts
(where available). On the Soil Data Mart you can download soils data
or view and print reports. Soil Surveys on CD and SSURGO Data
Viewer CD’s
are also available.
Historical replica CD's are available for some counties.
Soil Data Viewer may be
used with ArcGIS software to run tables and make thematic maps. Soils
and other GIS layers may also be found at the
Geospatial Data Gateway.
