  Description:
    Abstract:
      This dataset is a digital soil survey and generally is the most
      detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National
      Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing
      maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base
      and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps by using remotely
      sensed and other information.

      This dataset 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. A special soil features layer (point and line
      features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features
      too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but substantially are large
      enough and contrasting enough to substantially influence use and
      management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the
      National Soil Information System relational database, which gives
      the proportionate extent of the component soils and properties.
    Purpose:
      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.
    Supplemental_Information:
      Digital versions of hydrography, cultural features, and other
      associated layers that are not part of the SSURGO dataset may be
      available from the primary organization listed in the Point of
      Contact.

  Use_Constraints:
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation
    Service, should be acknowledged as the data source in products
    derived from these data.

    This dataset is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool
    in permitting or citing decisions, but may be used as a reference
    source. This is public information and may be interpreted by
    organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on
    needs; however, the users are responsible for the appropriate
    application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to
    reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any
    authority for the decisions that the users make. The Natural Resources
    Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps
    for purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs.

    Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater
    than at which the maps were originally mapped can cause misinterpretation
    of the data. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of
    contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale. The
    depicted soil boundaries, interpretations, and analysis derived from
    these maps do not eliminate the need for onsite sampling, testing, and
    detailed study of specific sites for intensive uses. Thus, these data
    and interpretations are intended for planning purposes only.
    Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and
    users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: text, table, map
      Other_Citation_Details:
        This soil survey contains information that can be applied in
        managing farms and wetlands; in selecting sites for roads, ponds,
        buildings, and other structures; and in judging the suitability
        of tracts of land for farming, industry, and recreation.

        This soil survey 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.
Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      Attribute accuracy is tested by manual comparison of the
      source with hard copy plots and/or symbolized display of the 
      map data on an interactive computer graphic system.
      Selected attributes that cannot be visually verified on plots or
      on screen are interactively queried and verified on screen. In
      addition, the attributes are tested against a master set of valid
      attributes. All attribute data conform to the attribute codes in
      the signed classification and correlation document and amendment(s).
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    Certain node/geometry and topology GT- polygon/chain relationships
    are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements
    (the GT-polygon corresponds to the soil delineation). Some of these
    requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains
    must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through
    nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain
    element and are consistent throughout, and the chains representing
    the limits of the file (neatline) are gap free. The tests of
    logical consistency are performed by using vendor software. The
    neatline is generated by connecting the explicitly entered four
    corners of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region
    are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight
    lines are clipped at the neatline. Data in a specified tolerance
    of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening
    aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated
    neatline (such as with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic
    coordinates). All internal polygons are tested for closure with
    vendor software and are checked on hard copy plots. All data are
    checked for common soil lines (such as adjacent polygons with the
    same label). Quadrangles are edge matched in the soil survey
    area and edge locations generally do not deviate from centerline to
    centerline by more than 0.01 inch.  The feature edges, descriptive
    attributes and feature labels have an acceptable join to the
    Pottawatomie County, and Payne County, Oklahoma, soil surveys.
    The feature edges, descriptive attributes and feature labels do
    not join to those in Logan County, and Oklahoma County, Oklahoma,
    soil surveys.  The quadrangles in this soil survey do not join
    with the quadrangles in the Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, soil survey.
  Completeness_Report:
    A map unit is a collection of areas defined and named the same in
    terms of the soil and/or nonsoil areas. Each map unit differs
    in some respect from all others in a survey area and is uniquely
    identified. Each individual area is a delineation. Each map unit
    consists of one or more components.

    Soil scientists identify small areas of soils or miscellaneous
    (nonsoil) areas that have properties and behavior substantially
    different than the named soils in the surrounding map unit. These
    minor components may be indicated as special features. If these small 
    soils areas have a minimal effect on use and management, or could not be
    precisely located, these areas may not be indicated on the map.

    Specific National Cooperative Soil Survey standards and procedures
    were used in the classification of soils, design and name of map
    units, and location of special soil features. These standards are
    outlined in Agricultural Handbook 18, Soil Survey Manual, 1993,
    USDA, SCS; Agricultural Handbook 436, Soil Taxonomy, Soil Survey
    Staff, 1975, USDA, Soil Conservation Service (SCS); and all Amendments; 
    Keys to Soil Taxonomy, Soil Survey Staff, (current issue); National 
    Soil Survey Handbook, title 430-VI, (current issue).

    The actual composition and interpretive purity of the map unit
    delineations were based on data collected by scientists during
    the course of preparing the soil maps. Adherence to National
    Cooperative Soil Survey standards and procedures is based on
    peer review, quality control, and quality assurance. Quality
    control is outlined in the memorandum of understanding for the
    soil survey area and in documents that reside with the Natural
    Resources Conservation Service state soil scientist. Four kinds
    of map units are used in soil surveys: consociations, complexes,
    associations, and undifferentiated groups.

    Consociations - Consociations are named for the dominant soil. In
    a consociation, delineated areas are dominated by a single soil
    taxon and similar soils. At least one half of the pedons in each
    delineation are of the same soil component so similar to the
    named soil that major interpretations are not affected
    substantially. The total amount of dissimilar inclusions of
    other components in a map unit generally does not exceed about
    15 percent if limiting and 25 percent if nonlimiting. A single
    component of a dissimilar limiting inclusion generally does not
    exceed 10 percent if very contrasting.

    Complexes and associations - Complexes and associations are named
    for two or more dissimilar components with the dominant component
    listed first. Complexes and associations occur in a regularly repeating 
    pattern. The major components of a complex cannot be mapped separately at 
    a scale of about 1:24,000. The major components of an association can be
    separated at a scale of about 1:24,000. In each delineation of
    either a complex or an association, each major component is normally
    present, though the proportions may vary from one delineation to another. 
    The total amount of inclusions in a map unit that are dissimilar to 
    any of the major components does not exceed 15 percent if limiting and 
    25 percent if nonlimiting. A single kind of dissimilar limiting inclusion 
    usually does not exceed 10 percent.

    Undifferentiated groups - Undifferentiated groups consist of two
    or more components that do not always occur together in the same
    delineation, but are included in the same named map unit because
    use and management are the same or similar for common uses. Every
    delineation has at least one of the major components and some may
    have components. The same principles regarding proportion of
    inclusions apply to undifferentiated groups as to consociations.

    Minimum documentation consists of three complete soil profile
    descriptions that are collected for each soil added to the explanation,
    one additional per 3,000 acres mapped; three 10 observation
    transects for each map unit, one additional 10 point transect per
    3,000 acres.

    A defined standard or level of confidence in the interpretive
    purity of the map unit delineations is attained by adjusting the
    kind and intensity of field investigations. Field investigations
    and data collection are carried out in sufficient detail to name
    map units and to identify accurately and consistently areas of
    about 5 acres.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        The accuracy of these digital data is based on the
        compilation to base maps that meet National Map Accuracy
        Standards. The difference in positional accuracy between the
        soil boundaries and special soil features locations in the
        field and the digitized map locations is unknown. The
        locational accuracy of soil delineations on the ground varies
        with the transition between map units.

        For example, on long gently sloping landscapes the transition
        occurs gradually over many feet. Where landscapes change
        abruptly from steep to level, the transition will be very
        narrow. Soil delineation boundaries and special soil features
        generally were digitized within 0.01 inch of the locations on
        the digitizing source. The digital map elements are edge matched
        between datasets. The data along each quadrangle edge are
        matched against the data for the adjacent quadrangle. Edge
        locations generally do not deviate from centerline to centerline
        by more than 0.01 inch.

        previously published in 1970 at 1:20,000 scale.  The classification
        and map unit names were finalized at the final correlation in 1966.
        An evaluation was made of the soil survey in 1997.  In order to
        provide accurate and up-to-date technical soil services, the
        correlation of Lincoln County Soil Survey was amended.  The
        manuscript descriptions of the 1970 publication were examined to
        determine if the descriptions were within the current series concept.  If the
        map unit description was not within the named series concept, a
        different soil series was identified.  Two additional
        map units were added to the soil survey.  The changes were made to
        reflect present day soil survey concepts, soil classification, and
        soil interpretations.  Amendments to the correlation document
        reflecting these changes are on file at the NRCS Oklahoma State
        Office.  The additional map units are as follows:

        DAM-------Large Dam
        M-W-------Miscellaneous Water

        Ratioed soil survey film positives were developed.
        Soil map unit delineations and special soil features were manually
        recompiled from the soil survey film positives (scale: 24,000) to 4
        mil. annotated stable-base overlays that were registered to multiple
        7.5-minute orthophotos.

        The annotated overlays were raster scanned on
        a Anatek-Eagle 4050 scanner at a resolution of 300 dots per inch
        at Midwest Graphics in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Four control points
        corresponding to the four corners of the 7.5-minute quadrangles
        were used during data collection by cartographic technicians
        at the NRCS Montana Digitizing Unit in Bozeman, Montana.  The
        data were created in North American Datum of 1983.  The processing
        of area features included raster editing, map neatline development,
        labeling, edge matching, and vector conversion and editing in
        ARC/INFO, Version 8.0.  County boundaries were digitized from the
        topographic Digital Raster Graphs (DRG).  The processing of special
        features included labeling and edge matching in ARC/INFO, Version 8.0.
        Plots were generated of area and special features and forwarded
        to soil scientists on staff at the Natural Resources Conservation
        Service state office in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The soil scientists'
        edits were applied in ARC/INFO, Version 8.0.  New plots were
        generated of 10 percent of the survey area and forwarded to the
        Major Land Resource Area in Temple, Texas, for a digitizing review.
        Digital Line Graph, Optional (DLG-3) files were written for
        area and special features with mk_dlg.aml routine in ARC/INFO 8.0.
        The data were forwarded to certification staff at the Montana
        Digitizing Unit for evaluation and certification.

  Overview_Description:
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
      Map Unit Delineations are closed polygons that may be dominated
      by a single soil or nonsoil component plus allowable similar or
      dissimilar soils, or these delineations can be geographic mixtures 
      of groups of soils or soils and nonsoil areas.

      The map unit symbol uniquely identifies each closed delineation
      map unit. Each symbol is linked to a map unit name. The map unit
      symbol also is the key for linking information in the National Soil
      Information System tables. The map unit symbols are not carried
      in the modified Digital Line Graph file; however, the symbols are made
      available in a companion attribute file. The attribute file links
      the minor codes in the Digital Line Graph files to the map unit
      symbols.

      Map Unit Delineations are described by the National Soil
      Information System database. This attribute database gives the
      proportionate extent of the component soils and the properties for
      each soil. The database contains both estimated and measured data
      on the physical and chemical soil properties and soil
      interpretations for engineering, water management, recreation,
      agronomic, woodland, range, and wildlife uses of the soil.

      The National Soil Information System database contains static
      metadata. The database documents the data structure and includes such
      information as what tables, columns, indexes, and relations
      are defined as well as a variety of attributes of each of these
      database objects.  Attributes include table and column
      descriptions and detailed domain information.

      The National Soil Information System database also contains a
      distribution metadata. The database records the criteria used for selecting
      map units and components for inclusion in the set of distributed
      data.

      Special features are described in the feature table.  The features 
	table includes a feature label, feature name, and feature description 
	for each special and ad hoc feature in the survey area.
