The digital soil survey database is generally the most detailed level <strong>of</strong> soil<br />

geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The<br />

map data are in a 7.5 minute quadrangle format and include a detailed, field<br />

verified inventory <strong>of</strong> soils and non-soil areas that normally occur in a<br />

repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown<br />

at the scale mapped.<br />
