This map is a compilation of all 41 published soil landscape maps that cover central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The mapping 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. In the associated reports, soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Australian Soil Classification, the Great Soil Groups, and the Northcote systems.

Online Maps: Part of this area is also covered by other soil mapping products, see the soil map index in eSPADE. eSPADE 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.

Statewide soil and land information can be discovered and viewed through eSPADE or SEED . Datasets include soil profiles, soil landscapes, soil and land resources, acid sulfate soil risk mapping, hydrogeological landscapes, land systems and land use. There are also various statewide coverages of specific soil and land characteristics, such as soil type, land and soil capability, soil fertility, soil regolith, soil hydrology and modelled soil properties.\r \r Both eSPADE and SEED enable soil and land data to be viewed on a map. SEED focuses more on the holistic approach by enabling you to add other environmental layers such as mining boundaries, vegetation or water monitoring points. SEED also provides access to metadata and data quality statements for layers.\r \r eSPADE provides greater functions and allows you to drill down into soil points or maps to access detailed information such as reports and images. You can navigate to a specific location, then search and select multiple objects and access detailed information about them. You can also export spatial information for use in other applications such as Google Earth™ and GIS software.\r \r eSPADE is a free Internet information system and works on desktop computers, laptops and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets and uses a Google maps-based platform familiar to most users. It has over 42,000 soil profile descriptions and approximately 4,000 soil landscape descriptions. This includes the maps and descriptions from the Soil Landscape Mapping program. eSPADE also includes the base maps underpinning Biophysical Strategic Agricultural Land (BSAL).\r \r For more information on eSPADE visit: https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/land-and-soil/soil-data/espade

This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Australian Capital Territory. The project was funded by the ACT Government to enhance knowledge of soils, landscapes and physical constraints to land use in the urban and rural environment. The information will assist in informed decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the catchment.

Fifty-five soil landscape map units have been described for the ACT. Each unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. Soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Groups systems.

It uses the best available soil resource mapping coverage incorporating over 55 different datasets of multiple scales across NSW. The formal ASC classification has been slightly modified in this map to further identify 2 extra sub-classes - soils with alluvial origins in the Rudosol order and soils with sodium-rich subsoils in the Kurosol order category. Soil types are representative of the dominant facet (sub-landscape) of each map unit and allocated using a lookup table system, linking a Great Soil Group classification soil type to the most appropriate Australian Soil Classification (ASC) class (see LUT table in data package). In some areas (north coast region and Cobargo area), an ASC classification has been assigned to map units directly without using a lookup system. These areas are identified in the ASC confidence map found within in the data package. While the ASC classification commonly equates to a particular GSG soil type classification, this is is not always the case and therefore ASC classifications allocated manually, will have a higher accuracy.
