Soil data

You can download data from their Web Soil Survey page, at https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm and then (in theory) view it in their desktop app (if you have MS Access) or using their ArcGIS extension.

  • So far I cannot view the data in their data viewer.

Workflow

  1. Design areas of interest in ArcMap using shapefiles.
  2. Create one AOI shapefile per county
  3. Use the shapefiles to define AOI in the web app. WSS
  4. Download the data
  5. Load it into ArcMap using their extension
