Title |
Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment |
Abstract |
This product contains natural resource mapping for the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment. The project was undertaken to enhance knowledge of soils, landscapes and physical constraints to land use in the urban and rural environment. The information will assist in informed decision making and planning throughout the catchment. Each soil landscape unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. Soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil landscape 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 mapping series for the mapsheets of Bathurst, Braidwood, Dubbo, Gosford, Goulburn, Katoomba, Kiama, Penrith, Singleton, St Albans, Sydney, Wallerawang and Wollongong. Part of this area is also covered by the mapping of Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW and Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping. 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.

Lineage |
The mapping undertaken by the NSW Government (Department of Land and Water Conservation, Department of Infrastructure Planning and Natural Resources and Department of Natural Resources) was created using:
For all datasets, 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 1:40,000 scale black and white and/or 1:25,000 scale colour aerial photographs. LANDSAT thematic mapper and radiometric imagery were used to assist with perception and charting of provisional soil landscapes. These boundaries were transferred onto 1:25,000 topographic base maps. After field checking boundaries and detailed investigations of the soil, the provisional landscapes were confirmed, amalgamated or sub-divided. Soils have been examined and described in detail at over 3000 sites. 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 soil materials present and to enable their distribution within the landscape to be described. |

DQ Completeness Commission |

Effective date |
2020-10-09 |
Explanation |
All polygons in the GIS layer are labeled with a core group of fields: unique soil landscape code (S_NSWcode) and name (S_NSWname), dominant process group (Process_D), subdominant process group if applicable (Process_SD) and dataset version number (Version). Landscape limitations and capability classification also are present. Pdf report are available for each map unit. Water polygons are identified as 'Water' and disturbed terrain and rock polygons are tagged as 'Not assessed' for limitation attribution. A shapefile of physiographic regions (HkPhysRegFinal) for the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment is provied in the SEED data package and on the DVD. |
DQ Conceptual Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2008-08-01 |
Explanation |
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 |
2008-08-01 |
Explanation |
ArcGIS was used to ensure all polygons in the shape file are topologically correct. All polygons have a unique identifier. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2008-08-01 |
Explanation |
Observations and soil profiles were located using handheld GPS (accurate to 50m) or using 1:25,000 topographic maps. Soil boundaries on this 1:100,000 scale map is generally accurate to within 100m on the ground but variations will occur especially where soil boundaries are gradual. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
2008-08-01 |
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 using field observations, remote sensing interpretation (satellite, radiometric and aerial photos) and laboratory analysis of some dominant soil type profiles. |
