Soil Landscapes of the Dubbo 1:250,000 Sheet |
Abstract |
This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of eastern and central NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 or 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 Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment, Soil and Land Resources of the Merriwa Plateau 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.

Lineage |
Provisional soil landscapes were established firstly on the parent material influencing the formation of the landscape and secondly, on topography. The boundaries of these provisional soil landscapes were mapped using stereoscopic interpretation of 1980 1:50,000 scale black and white aerial photographs. These boundaries were transferred onto 1:100,000 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 1:250,000 scale in groups based on their dominant soil type. A colour symbology 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 |
2010-01-01 |
Explanation |
The data set is complete for the entire 1:250,000 map sheet. 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 250 ha 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 Completeness Omission |
|
Effective date |
2001-01-01 |
DQ Conceptual Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2010-01-01 |
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. Logical consistency of vector data was assessed at the time of map digitisation. |
DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2010-01-01 |
Explanation |
ArcGIS was used to ensure all polygons in the shapefile are topologically correct. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2010-01-01 |
Explanation |
Map cadastral data is from the AUSLIG 1:100,000 Series. Polygon and soil profile attributes were determined in the field using either a GPS or 1:100,000 CMA topographic map with accuracy to 100 m. Boundaries have been checked and refined using an iterative field edit as well as air photo checks. Most boundaries could be delineated readily, but a small number were more diffuse or difficult to identify. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
2010-01-01 |
Explanation |
Soils were examined and described in detail at over 200 sites, and observed and inspected at many hundreds of observations over the 67 soil landscapes. At each described site, soil morphological data and site information were recorded on Soil and Land Information System cards. 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. The authors had worked in the area as soil extension or investigation officers for many years, thus adding to their knowledge. |
