Soil Landscapes of the Canberra 1:100,000 Sheet |
Abstract |
This map is one of a series of soil landscape products that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map 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. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Australian Capital Territory Catchment (ACT). 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 |
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 1985 1:40,000 black and white and 1992 1:25,000 colour aerial photographs. LANDSAT thematic mapper imagery was 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 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 scale in groups based on their dominant geomorphic processes. A colour has been allocated to each group.; ; The GIS shapefile linework has been updated to reflect the latest hydrology data. Therefore small differences will occur between the shapefile and hard copy map. |

DQ Completeness Commission |
|
Effective date |
2000-05-01 |
Explanation |
The dataset is complete for the entire 1:100,000 map sheet. Each soil landscape generally has at least six soil profile descriptions. Each soil landscape with difficult access has at least two soil profile descriptions. The number of soil profile descriptions and observations are within the recommended range specified in the Australian Soil and Land Survey Handbook (Reid, 1988). Soil landscape polygons less than 40 ha and elongated polygons less than 300 m wide are generally not shown unless they are locally significant. Continuity with other soil landscape maps is ensured by plotting boundaries up to 5 km beyond the perimeter of the mapping area. |

DQ Conceptual Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2000-05-01 |
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 (field edited) by a peer soil surveyor. Soil landscape boundaries have been checked and refined using iterative field and aerial photo checks. |
DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2000-05-01 |
Explanation |
Logical consistency of vector data was assessed at the time of map digitisation and ArcGIS was used to ensure all polygons in the shapefile are topologically correct. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2000-05-01 |
Explanation |
Cadastral data is from the AUSLIG 1:100,000 Series. Polygon and soil profile data is determined in the field using either a GPS or 1:25,000 GMA topographic map with accuracy to 25m. Boundaries have been checked and refined using an iterative field edit as well as air photo checks. Solid line boundaries are accurate generally within 100 m. Generally, dashed line boundaries are accurate within 100 - 250 m, and indicate boundaries that are diffues or difficult to identify. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
1900-01-01 |
Explanation |
Soils were examined and described in detail at nearly 500 sites, and observed and inspected at over 1000 sites for the 34 soil landscapes. At each described site, soil morphological data and site information were recorded on Soil Data System cards. At the inspection sites, the correct landscape classification was confirmed. Soil descriptions were made from road cuttings, quarries, drains, pits and augured holes. This is within the recommended range of ground observation densities specified in the Australian Soil and Land Survey Handbook (McDonald et al. 1990). 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. 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 Raymond 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. |
