Land Systems of Western New South Wales

Land systems are areas or groups of areas throughout which there is a recurring pattern of topography, soils and vegetation. This vector dataset with accompanying hardcopy report describe 251 land systems for Western New South Wales. They provide soil and land resource information suitable to assist in broad scale land-use planning and land management. Land systems were mapped at a scale of 1: 250,000 scale.

Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Reconnaissance Soil and Land Resources of the Murray Catchment and Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW.

Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.
