Soil Landscapes of Central and Eastern NSW |
Abstract |
This map is a compilation of all 41 published soil landscape maps that cover central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The mapping provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. In the associated reports, soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Australian Soil Classification, the Great Soil Groups, and the Northcote systems. Online Maps: Part of this area is also covered by other soil mapping products, see the soil map index in eSPADE. eSPADE 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.

Lineage |
Provisional soil landscapes were established firstly on the dominant geomorphic processes responsible for the formation of the landscape and secondly on the geological parent material. The boundaries of these provisional soil landscapes were mapped using stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs. These boundaries were delineated on 1:25,000 topographic map sheets for 1:100,000 scaled mapping and 1:100,000 topographic map sheets for 1:250,000 scaled mapping for field observation and editing. Airborne radiometrics imagery was used to assist with the refining of soil landscape boundaries. After field-checking boundaries and detailed investigation of the soils, the provisional landscapes were confirmed, amalgamated or sub-divided. The resulting soil landscapes are presented on the map at 1:100,000 or 1:250,000 scale depending on their published scale. Datasets included in this map include: Published at 1:100,000 scale:

DQ Completeness Commission |

Effective date |

Explanation |
All soil landscape polygons in the GIS layer are labeled with a SALIS code (comprising of its map sheet number followed by a soil landscape code) and a soil landscape name. SALIS code is the unique identifier used for published soil landscapes that have not been mastered. Water polygons are left empty on purpose and not attributes are provided for these areas. Soil landscape PDF report occurs for each map unit on eSPADE and in the download package. Complete reports also occur for Armidale, Baan Baa, Sydney,Eden-Green Cape, Cootamundra, Dubbo and Penrith. High quality JPG maps occur all mapping areas. Each soil landscape map unit generally have at least three soil profile descriptions. Soil landscapes with difficult access have at least two soil profile descriptions. Field, technical and general editing has occurred on this dataset. |
DQ Conceptual Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2019-06-13 |
Explanation |
The map and report have been checked for technical consistency and compliance with soil landscape map series standards. Map unit concepts and polygons, major soil types and soil landscape descriptions have been field verified by a peer soil surveyor or soils quality officer. Soil landscape boundaries have been checked and refined using iterative field and aerial photo checks. |
DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2019-06-13 |
Explanation |
ArcGIS was used to ensure all polygons in the shapefile are topologically correct (cluster tolerance 0.000003 DDeg) |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2019-06-13 |
Explanation |
The accuracy of this map varies across Central and eastern NSW, as map polygon boundaries were derived from many different scales (see Lineage).Soil boundaries mapped at 1:100,000 scale are generally accurate to within 100 m. Soil boundaries mapped at 1:250,000 scale are generally accurate to within 250 m. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
2019-06-13 |
Explanation |
Soil landscape map units are individualised by unique combinations of soil type, topography, geology, vegetation, land use existing erosion/land degradation and constraints to development. The land and soil attributes in this product were predominately assessed from field observations and aerial photo interpretation. Soil laboratory tests are undertaken for at least one representative sample for each soil material. Where possible, the chemical test methods adopted are the same as those in Rayment and Higginson (1992). Single test results provided for each soil material are intended as a guide only and variation in physical and chemical properties within each soil material should be anticipated. Soils were examined and described in in the field. At each site, soil morphological data and site information were recorded on Soil and Land Information System (SALIS) cards. Sufficient field work was undertaken within each soil landscape to identify the range of soils present and to enable their distribution within the landscape to be described. |
