Content Description
Abstract: This analysis was conducted by rating soil mapping units in the county for productivity and combining this with land use. Ratings for the soil mapping units were provided by John Hocker, District Conservationist for Medina County. These soils used in this analysis were digitized from the paper original soil survey sheets. These sheets were taped together to form an area covering each of the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps in the county. The areas for each quadrangle were then digitized using run-length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county file which has subsequently been converted to Arc/Info format. The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the soil survey and should not be used for site specific analysis. Additional details of the digitizing process are available upon request.
Purpose: This coverage was created as part of an Ohio Capability Analysis Program Land Capability Project with the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA). This analysis was developed for use by local officials in general agricultural and environmental planning.
