Abstract:
SSURGO depicts information about the kinds and distribution of
soils on the landscape. The soil map and data used in the SSURGO
product were prepared by soil scientists as part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
The dataset was downloaded on 1/26/2021 from the NRCS GeoSpatial Data Gateway
(
https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/GDGOrder.aspx) and processed by NH GRANIT
staff at the UNH Earth Systems Research Center to:
1) Project to NH State Plane feet, NAD83
2) Clip to the NH state boundary
3) Attach key soil attributes from the collection of related tables distributed by NRCS
(see SSURGO_Metadata_-_Table_Column_Descriptions.pdf for descriptions)
4) Add and populate the "acres" field
The remainder of this metadata record is as provided with the downloaded
source data, with the exception of the addition of several theme keywords
and updating the Spatial Reference Information to reflect the processing described above.
The SSURGO dataset was created for use in national, regional, and statewide
resource planning and analysis of soils data.
