gSSURGO Valu1 table column descriptions

Included with the gSSURGO database, but not a part of the standard SSURGO dataset is a table called Valu1. This table contains 57 pre-summarized or “ready to map” attributes derived from the official SSURGO database. These attribute data are pre-summarized to the map unit level using best-practice generalization methods intended to meet the needs of most users. The generalization methods include map unit component weighted averages and percent of the map unit meeting a given criteria. These themes were prepared to better meet the mapping needs of users of soil survey information and can be used with both SSURGO and gridded SSURGO (gSSURGO) datasets.Other Documents to Reference:gSSURGO FactsheetgSSURGO User Guide ArcMap version 2.4Soil Data Development Toolbox User Guide v5 for ArcMapgSSURGO Mapping Detailed GuidegSSURGO Valu1 table column descriptions
