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 4 acres.

Process_Description:
Nassau County had a soil survey previously published
in 1987, at 1:24000 scale. An evaluation was made of the soil survey in
It was determined that the soil map unit delineations and map unit
components were accurate.
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: SCS1
Process_Date: 2001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Film positives, at 1:24000 scale, were made from the
publication annotation overlays. Soil map unit delineations, soil
symbols and special soil features were manually compiled from the film
positives to stable-base material registered to 3.75 minute
orthophotographic quadrangles. Errors from the published soil survey
were corrected and map unit boundaries were refined, as needed, to the
orthophotographic quadrangles.

Process_Description:
The compiled soil and feature overlays were mailed
to the Wisconsin Digitizing Unit in Madison, Wisconsin. The 3.75 minute
soil map unit delineation and label overlays were raster scanned by
Midwest Graphics, Kenosha, Wisconsin at 250 dpi on an Intergraph ANA
Tech scanner in tiff uncompressed format. The data were sent to the
Wisconsin Digitizing Unit in Madison, Wisconsin. Four control points
used, corresponded to the four corners on the 3.75 minute quadrangles
were, used for registration during data collection. The tiff files were
imported into ArcGIS 9.0 ArcMap. The tiff files were geo-referenced in
ArcMap. Using the raster cleanup tools, the tiff files were cleaned,
edge-matched and vectorized to a polygon feature class. Using the label
overlay tiff files as a back drop, the soil polygons were attributed and
line and point features classes were digitized and labeled. Using
topology rules, errors were identified and corrected. The data were
then exported to polygon, line, and point coverages using ArcCatalog.
Next, the data were then projected to Geographic coordinates in decimal
degrees and run through the 20040524 ReCert AMLs provided by NCGC and
uploaded to the Soil Data Warehouse for archival and distribution.

The Michigan Digitizing Unit (MIDU) staff downloaded the SSURGO data
for Nassau County and the adjacent soil surveys from the Soil
Data Warehouse (SDW). The MIDU staff imported the coverages into a
geodatabase and checked the spatial data with the ARCGIS Version 9.2
software. The 2006 NAIP imagery was used to review the small water
polygons. Most of the water polygons smaller than 1 acre were
removed. To remove excess vertices, the soil boundaries were
generalized at a tolerance of 0.5 meters. The boundaries of this soil
survey were adjusted to match the boundaries of the adjacent soil
surveys at a tolerance of 0.1 meters. After the soil survey was
edited, the area, line and point feature classes were converted to
ARC/INFO coverages and exported as e00 files. The digital maps of the
mapping units and the special soil features were imported into the
ARC/INFO Version 7.2.1 software for review and certification. The
MIDU staff checked the data with a set of ARC Macro Language (AML)
programs developed by the NCGC. The seamless coverages were checked
using the January 2006 SSURGO Evaluation AML programs. The labels in
the spatial data matched the symbols in the mapunit table from NASIS.
Upon successful completion of the SSURGO Evaluation, the county
coverages, feature file and the metadata were electronically
transferred to the NRCS Staging Server to be joined with
the tabular data.
