Title	Soil Landscapes of the Cootamundra 1:250,000 Sheet
Abstract	This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for central NSW, based on standard 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map and accompanying report 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. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems. Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which 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.

Additional information source	GIS Field name descriptions CODE - Soil landscape code NAME - Soil landscape name PROCESS - Process Group of the soil landscape. Groups are named after either recent or current land-forming processes, or conditions that influence soil parent material or soil type; or (where simple process names do not exist) after environments where soil formation is influenced by current and recent processes. Descriptions of these groups are available within soil landscape reports and on the DPIE website. LANDSCAPE - A string combining process group and the soil landscape code. The first two capital letters are the process groups abbreviation and the remaining letters are the soil landscape code. VERSION - Version number Available Formats View online using eSPADE Spatial viewer Download JPG map, report or GIS ESRI shapefiles(.shp) & layer files (.lyr) from SEED data portal.

Lineage	Provisional soil landscapes were established firstly on the dominant geomorphic processes responsible for the formation of the landscape and secondly on the geological parent material. The boundaries of these provisional soil landscapes were mapped using stereoscopic interpretation of 1:50,000-scale black and white aerial photographs for the Young (1989), Cootamundra (1986), Temora (1978), Junee (1991) and Coolamon (1991) 1:100,000 map sheets,and 1:25,000-scale colour aerial photographs for the Barmedman (1998) 1:100,000 map sheet. These boundaries were delinated on 1:100,000 topographic base maps for field observation and editing. Geoscience Australia's 2001 airborne radiometrics imagery (at 400 m spacing) was used to assist with the refining of soil landscape boundaries. After field-checking boundaries and detailed investigation of the soils, the provisional landscapes were confirmed, amalgamated or sub-divided. The resulting soil landscapes are presented on the map at 1:250,000 scale in groups based on their dominant geomorphic processes. A colour has been allocated to each group.
