This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The All Roads Shapefile includes all features within the MTDB Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in MTDB that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, and stairways.

Description, Soil Type, and Farm Status:The Description and Farm Status come from the Web Soil Survey (https://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx) (Map Unit Name and farmland classification, respectively) while the Soil Type is a grouping of the different Descriptions to make a more reader friendly legend. The data for Essex County was downloaded March 3, 2023, while that for Caroline, King and Queen, and Middlesex Counties was downloaded August 23, 2023.Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (Ksat):The saturated hydraulic conductivity was obtained from the Web Soil Survey (https://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx) Custom Soil Resource report for Essex County, Virginia on May 24, 2023, and on August 23, 2023 for Caroline County, King and Queen County, and Middlesex County. The Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (Ksat), Standard Classes were generated into a report, using the following settings. The Aggregation Method chosen was Dominant Component. The Component Percent Cutoff was left blank. The Tie Break Rule was Fastest. Interpret Nulls as Zero was set to No. The Layer Options (Horizon Aggregation Method) was set to All Layers (Weighted Average).The saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is in units of micrometers per second. The Ksat classes were detailed in the generated report, and are as follows:Very Low: 0.00 to 0.01Low: 0.01 to 0.1Moderately Low: .1 to 1.0Moderately High: 1 to 10High: 10 to 100Very High: 100 to 705For more information about saturated hydraulic conductivity and how it is being used instead of permeability, please refer to 2-81 (page 125) of the Field Book for Describing and Sampling Soils Version 3.0 from the National Soil Survey Center of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, reprinted in 2021.Non-irrigated Capability Class:The non-irrigated capability class and class description are from the Natural Resources Conservation Service SSURGO data (https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/WebSoilSurvey.aspx). Data for Essex County was downloaded June 23, 2023, while the data for Caroline, King and Queen, and Middlesex Counties was downloaded July 5, 2023. The non-irrigated capability class is used by the Commissioner of the Revenue in land valuation calculations. The focus is on the soil use limitations.County Rep:The boundaries for Essex County in the web soil survey did not completely cover the extent of the county, so data from Caroline County, King and Queen County, and Middlesex County was also used. The CountyRep field is to show from which county that layer has come.Erodibility:Soil erodibility was obtained from the Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Highly Erodible Land Report for January 1990, republished in August 2002. The Erodibility classes were frozen in 1990.https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/conservation-basics/conservation-by-state/virginia/countycity-highly-erodible-hel-soil-lists
