Title

Soil Landscapes of the Cobargo 1:100,000 Sheet

Abstract

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps 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 Cobargo 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.

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.

Additional information source

GIS Field name descriptions

CODE - Soil landscape code
NAME - Soil landscape name
PROCESS - Process Group of the soil landscape. Groups are named after either recent or current land-forming processes, or conditions that influence soil parent material or soil type. Descriptions of these groups are available within soil landscape reports and on the DPIE website.
LANDSCAPE - A string combining process group code and the soil landscape code. The first two capital letters are the process groups abbreviation and the remaining letters are the soil landscape code. SALIS_CODE - 1:100,000 map sheet number and soil landscape code. This forms the unique identifier code for the Soil Landscape Series. VERSION - Version number

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 1997 1:25,000 scale 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 investigations of the soil, the provisional landscapes were confirmed, amalgamated or sub-divided. Linework was digitised and several revisions occurred prior to publishing using SPOT satellite imagery, digital elevation models and ADS40 photography. The final linework has been updated to reflect latest coastline and hydrology mapping.

Soils were examined and described in detail at over 601 sites. At each site, soil morphological data and site information were recorded on SALIS Soil Data 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.

The resulting soil landscapes are published as a map at 1:100,000 scale and in groups based on their dominant geomorphic processes.
