Abstract:
Information on the SOILS data layer

was derived from the Private Forest Land

Grading Program (PFLG) and subsequent soil

surveys. State and private lands, which had the

potential of supporting commercial forest

stands, were surveyed by PFLG. Some tribal and

Federal lands were also surveyed. Because this

was a cooperative soil survey project,

agricultural and non-commercial forestlands

were also included within some survey areas.Entity and Attribute Overview:

SOILS24.35: relational table containing soil

attributes generally taken from soil surveys.

Process_Description:
The SOILS data were received

in digital format as thirty-six separate township

extent coverages. They were then MAPJOINED

into a single coverage and the attribute items

UNSTABLE and EROSION were added from

the SOILS.35 layer. Data documentation

updated by Mark G. Scott, May 13, 1997.
