  1. Title: Expansive Soils, San Joaquin County, California, 2015

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains information about expansive soil areas in San Joaquin County, California. Expansive soils are those that are prone to large volume changes (swelling and shrinking) and are directly related to changes in water content. Soils with a high content of expansive minerals can form deep cracks in drier seasons or years - such soils are called vertisols. Soils with smectite clay minerals, including montmorillonite and bentonite, have the most dramatic shrink-swell capacity. Soil surveys are conducted by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. This layer is part of a collection of GIS data for San Joaquin County in California. This dataset is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. San Joaquin County (Calif.). Community Development Department. (2015). Expansive Soils, San Joaquin County, California, 2015. San Joaquin County Community Development Department. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/ys254ss0253. This layer is presented in the WGS84 coordinate system for web display purposes. Downloadable data are provided in native coordinate system or projection.

  2. Title: Soil Survey, Tehama County, California, 2004

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains data derived from the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) to show the area of Tehama County, California. SSURGO depicts information about the kinds and distribution ofsoils on the landscape. The soil map and data used in the SSURGOproduct were prepared by soil scientists as part of the NationalCooperative Soil Survey. This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

  3. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Soil Spot Features (Points) (December 2000)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a companion layer to the Soils (Polygons) datalayer and contains points representing 'special' or 'ad hoc' point features such as gravel pits, wet areas, bedrock escarpments and others for a portion of the state of Massachusetts. The soils datalayer has been automated from 1:25,000 published soils surveys as provided on various media by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). All soils data released by MassGIS have been 'SSURGO-certified ,' which means they have been reviewed and approved by the NRCS and meet all standards and requirements for inclusion in the national release of county-level digital soils data. Soil survey areas are roughly based on county boundaries.
