Soil Landscapes of the Wallerawang 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 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 Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment 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, based firstly on the dominant geomorphic process 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 1:25,000 black and white aerial photographs transferred onto 1:25,000 base maps. After field checking these 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 process. A colour has been allocated to each group. Soils were examined and described in detail at 194 sites and inspected at many hundreds more over the 30 soil landscapes. At each described site, soil morphological data and site information were recorded on Soil Data Cards and later transferred into the Soil and Land Information System (SALIS). 128 soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis. The GIS shapefile linework has been updated to reflect latest hydrology data. Therefore small differences will occur between the shapefile and hard copy map. |

Explanation |
Each soil landscape generally has a representative profile (type profile) for each sub-landscape (facet) within it. Soil landscapes with difficult access may have very little to no 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 hectares and elongated polygons less than 300 m wide are generally not shown unless they are unusually significant. |

DQ Conceptual Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2009-01-10 |
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 |
2009-01-10 |
Explanation |
ArcGIS was used to ensure all polygons in the shapefile are topologically correct. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2009-01-10 |
Explanation |
Boundaries between soil landscapes are drawn as solid lines where they could be delineated reliably and broken lines where they were more diffuse or difficult to identify. Solid line boundaries are generally accurate within 100m. Dashed line boundaries are generally accurate within 100 to 250m. Dotted line boundaries are generally accurate within 250 to 400m. Observations and soil profile numbers are located onto the field sheets in the field. Location is determined by map reading (with accuracy to 25m) and where this is not possible using Global Positioning Systems (with accuracy within 100m). Field sheets are digitised to 13m accuracy. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |

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 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. 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. |
