Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) data by county for portions of Wyoming (approximate scale 1:24,000)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
SSURGO depicts information about soil features on or near the surface of the Earth.
Description
These data were collected as part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. This data set is a digital soil survey and is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
The information was collected by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. SSURGO soil data currently exists for Wyoming for all or part of the following counties: Albany, Laramie, Platte, Natrona, Campbell, Washakie counties (as of October, 2000) This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data.

The map data are in a 7.5 minute quadrangle format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and nonsoil areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. Sometimes a special soil features layer (point and line features) is included. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management.
The soil map units are linked to attributes in the Map Unit Interpretations Record relational data base, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.
