Getting Started with Web Soil Survey

Soil surveys are being completed and published in printed form on an ongoing schedule. As time passes, the data in printed surveys can become out of date. The up-to-date official information about the soils in a given area is now available in electronic form for each of the Soil Survey Areas. Web Soil Survey provides interactive access to the most current information for a user-defined Area of Interest. Click the following link to go to the Web Soil Survey home page: Web Soil Survey Home Page. If spatial soil data are available for your Area of Interest, Web Soil Survey also generates soil maps. Web Soil Survey also provides the capability to download official Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) soil data for whole soil survey areas. Generalized soil data (State Soil Geographic Database or STATSGO2) can also be downloaded in individual state datasets or the whole U.S.Information about how to use Web Soil Survey, including a link to this Getting Started document, is available on the Web Soil Survey home page.
