Completeness_Report: A map unit is a collection of areas defined and named in terms of
their soil components or miscellaneous areas or both. Each map
unit differs in some respect from all others in a survey area and
each map unit has a symbol that uniquely identifies the map unit
on a soil map. Each individual area, point, or line so identified
on the map is a delineation.
Soil Scientists identify small areas of soils or miscellaneous areas
that have properties and behavior significantly different than the
named soils in the surrounding map unit. These minor components
may be indicated as special features. If they have a minimal effect
on use and management, or could not be precisely located, they may
not be indicated on the map.
A map unit has specified kinds of soils or miscellaneous areas
(map unit components), each with a designated range in
proportionate extent. Map units include one or more kinds of soil
or miscellaneous area. Miscellaneous areas are areas that have little
or no recognizable soil.
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, NRCS; Agricultural Handbook 436, Soil Taxonomy, 1995,
USDA, NRCS; and all Amendments; Keys to Soil Taxonomy,
(current issue) USDA, NRCS; National Soil Survey
Handbook, title 430-VI,(current issue) USDA, NRCS.
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 use a single name from the
dominant component in the map unit. Dissimilar components are
minor in extent. The soil component in a consociation may be
identified at any taxonomic level. Soil series is the lowest
taxonomic level. A consociation that is named as a miscellaneous
area is dominantly that kind of area and minor components do not
significantly affect the use of the map unit. 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 consist
of two or more dissimilar components that occur in a regularly
repeating pattern. The total amount of other dissimilar components
is minor extent. The following arbitrary rule determines whether
complex or association is used in the name. The major components
of an association can be separated at the scale of mapping. In
either case, because the major components are sufficiently different
in morphology or behavior, the map unit cannot be called a
consociation. In each delineation of a complex or an association,
each major component is normally present though their proportions
may vary appreciably 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 are not consistently associated
geographically and, therefore, do not always occur together in
the same map delineation. These components are included in the
same named map unit because their use and management are the same
or very similar for common uses. Generally they are grouped together
because some common feature, such as steepness, stoniness, or
flooding, determines their use and management. If two or more
additional map units would serve no useful purpose, they may be
included in the same unit. Each delineation has at least one of the
major components, and some may have all of them. The same principles
regarding the proportion of minor components that apply to
consociations also apply to undifferentiated groups. The same
principles regarding proportion of inclusion 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 legend,
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 6 acres.

Process_Description:
Field procedures for the second order
soil survey included plotting of soil boundaries determined
by field observations and by interpretation of remotely sensed
data. Boundaries were verified at closely spaced intervals,
and the soil in each delineation were identified by traversing
the landscape. Soil scientists described and sampled the soils,
analyzed samples in the laboratory, and statistically analyzed
the data. The classification and map unit names were finalized
in the final correlation in July 1993.

Process_Description:
Field maps were manually compiled to
1:24000 scale, 7.5 minute orthophoto quadrangles. The soil
delineation overlays were created by compiling the soil lines
from the orthophoto quadrangle to a stable-base material
registered to the orthophoto quadrangle. The soil delineation
overlays were rastered scanned by Midwest Graphics, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, on an Intergraph Anatech scanner at 250 dpi in rlc
format. The county borders were manually digitized from the
7.5 minute USGS topographic quadrangles in LT4X Version 4.02 on
a Sun UNIX Workstation and exported and snapped together in GRASS
Version 4.13 and then imported back into LT4X. The raster
editing, labeling, edge matching, and vector conversion were
done in LT4X Version 4.02. The special soil features data
were digitized. The soils data were written to a Digital
Line Graph Optional format using GRASS Version 4.13 v.export
command. Compilation, digitizing, and quality control were
performed by USDA-NRCS National Cooperative Soil Survey Staff
and Cornell University soil scientists and digitizing technicians
at the Soil Information Systems Laboratory, Cornell University,
Ithaca, New York. The data are in North American Datum of
1927. The Wisconsin Digitizing Unit, Madison, Wisconsin
reviewed the soils data and did the SSURGO Evaluation.
The DLG Optional files were evaluated with the February 1998
ARC/INFO AMLs provided by USDA-NRCS, National Cartography
and Geospatial Center, Fort Worth, Texas. Upon successful
completion of SSURGO evaluation, the DLGs were rewritten
from ARC/INFO Version 7.1.1 on a Sun UNIX Workstation.
The new ARC/INFO version DLGs were rechecked with the
February 1998 ARC/INFO SSURGO AMLs. The DLGs were processed
with the June 1998 archiving AMLs provided by U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service,
National Cartography and Geospatial Center, Fort Worth, Texas.

data sets for release to the Soil Data Warehouse. A system assigned
version number and date stamp were added and the data were copied to
the data warehouse. The tabular data for the map units and components
were extracted from the data warehouse and reformatted into the soil
data delivery data model, then stored in the Soil Data Mart. The spatial
data were copied to the Soil Data Mart without change.
