Name: Soil Landscape Mapping - Best Available (DPIRD-027)
Display Field: proj_name
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Soil-landscape mapping covering Western Australia at the best available scale (Version April 2019). It is a compilation of various surveys at different scales varying between 1:20,000 and 1:3,000,000.
Mapping conforms to a nested hierarchy established to deal with the varying levels of information resulting from the variety of scales in mapping.
For further information refer to Department of Agriculture Resource Management Technical Reports RMTR No. 280 and RMTR No. 313.
Land capability and land quality attribution is included, refer to Department of Agriculture Resource Management Technical Report No. 298 for a description of the methodology employed.

Description: Land system mapping for the pastoral area of Western Australia (Version April 2019). Most mapping is at scale 1:250, 000, except for Wiluna-Meekatharra (1:506, 880). A desktop mapping exercise was carried out in 2007 to update the original 1:1,000,000 CSIRO Kimberley Region surveys to make them suitable for use in 1:100, 000 scale pastoral lease mapping. Survey program is in progress and some areas are yet to be surveyed. Most surveys are accompanied by a Technical Bulletin report which provides more detailed information.
For map production purposes, land systems are grouped into Land Types. A standard colour has been assigned to each land type for map production purposes.
This data set includes pastoral potential classifications.
