Title

Soil Landscapes of the Cooma 1:100,000 Sheet

Abstract

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map 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 Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems. The Cooma 1:100,000 map sheet covers the Peak View, Kybeyan, Rock Flat and Chakola areas.

Online Maps: This dataset 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. 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.

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 1:40,000 scale black and white aerial photographs. LANDSAT thematic mapper imagery was used to assist with perception and charting of provisional soil landscapes. These boundaries were transferred onto 1:25,000 topographic base maps. After field checking boundaries and detailed investigations of the soil, the provisional landscapes were confirmed, amalgamated or sub-divided. The resulting soil landscapes are presented on the map at 1:100,000 scale in groups based on their dominant geomorphic processes. A colour has been allocated to each group.

Soils were examined and described in detail at over 380 sites. At each site, soil morphological data and site information were recorded on Soil Data System cards. Sufficient field work was undertaken within each soil landscape to identify the range of soil materials present and to enable their distribution within the landscape to be described.

The GIS shapefile linework has been updated to reflect latest hydrology data. Therefore small differences will occur between the shapefile and hard copy map.
