This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most
detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National
Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing
maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base
and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely
sensed and other information.
This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and
computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area
extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory
of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable
pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at
the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line
features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features
too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large
enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and
management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the
National Soil Information System relational database, which gives
the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.
SSURGO depicts information about the kinds and distribution of
soils on the landscape. The soil map and data used in the SSURGO
product were prepared by soil scientists as part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.

Access Constraints: None. Use Constraints:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation
Service, should be acknowledged as the data source in products
derived from these data.
This data set is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool
in permitting or citing decisions, but may be used as a reference
source. This is public information and may be interpreted by
organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on
needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate
application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to
reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any
authority for the decisions that they make. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps
for purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs.
Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater
than at which they were originally mapped can cause misinterpretation
of the data. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale. The
depicted soil boundaries, interpretations, and analysis derived from
them do not eliminate the need for onsite sampling, testing, and
detailed study of specific sites for intensive uses. Thus, these data
and their interpretations are intended for planning purposes only.
Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and
users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

Certain node/geometry and topology GT-polygon/chain relationships
are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements
(the GT-polygon corresponds to the soil delineation). Some of these
requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains
must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through
nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain
element and are consistent throughout, and the chains representing
the limits of the file are free of gaps. The tests of logical
consistency are performed using vendor software. All internal
polygons are tested for closure with vendor software and are checked
on hard copy plots. All data are checked for common soil lines (i.e.,
adjacent polygons with the same label). Edge locations generally do
not deviate from centerline to centerline by more than 0.01 inch.
The feature edges, descriptive attributes, and the feature labels of the
quadrangles in the Socorro County Area, New Mexico Soil Survey, do not
match with the adjacent quadrangles in the Cibola Area, New Mexico, Parts of
Cibola, McKinley and Valencia Counties Soil Survey, Valencia County, New
Mexico, Eastern Part Soil Survey, Torrance Area, New Mexico Soil Survey,
Lincoln Ciunty Area, New Mexico Soil Survey, Sierra County Area, New Mexico
Soil Survey, and the Catron County, New Mexico, Eastern Part Soil Survey.
The Socorro County Area, New Mexico, Soil Survey was
published in 1988 at 1:48,000 and 1:24,000 scale. The classification
and map unit names were finalized at the final
correlation in 1983. An evaluation was made of the soil survey in 2004.
It was determined that the soil map unit delineations were accurate.
Water areas that are less than the acceptable minimum size delineation
of 6 acres have been compiled with the appropriate symbol for perennial
water. The changes were made to reflect present day soil survey
concepts, soil classification, and soil interpretations. An amendment
to the correlation document reflecting these changes are on file at the
NRCS New Mexico State Office.

The final publication negatives were used to develop
ratioed soil survey film positives. Soil map unit and special soil
features delineations were manually recompiled from the soil survey
film positives (scale: 24,000) to 4 mil. annotated stable-base overlays
that were registered to multiple 7.5 minute orthophotographs and
composites.

The annotated overlays were raster scanned on
a SCANGRAPHICS CF 500 Scanner at a resolution of 300 dpi. The soil
area features and special soil features were processed in LT4X
Version 4.11. The soil processing consisted of raster editing, map
neatline development, labeling, edge matching and vector conversion.
The soil area features and special soil features were written to
Digital Line Graph Optional format in LT4X. Digitizing and quality
control were done by the geographic information system specialist
and cartographic technicians at the Temple, Texas Digitizing and
Certification Center.

The soil area features and special soil features
DLGs were imported into ARC/INFO 7.2.1. The 7.5 minute quadrangles

additional editing was performed. The coverages were edge matched
to existing SSURGO data. New DLGs reflecting these changes were
written with ARC/INFO 7.2.1.

The online SSURGO data have been recertified
due to minor changes in the spatial data. The online SSURGO data
were imported to ARC/INFO Version 7.2.1 at the Temple, Texas

were then electronically transferred to the NRCS staging server for

The spatial data for the Soil Survey of Socorro County Area,
New Mexico was downloaded from the Soil Data Mart on
October 15, 2012. The individual shapefiles were appended into a
geodatabase for Region 8. The data were processed in ARCGIS 10.1
using a topology object with a 0.1 meter cluster tolerance
for the purpose of eliminating gaps and overlaps within the Region 8
soils geodatabase. Individual soil survey area data were exported as
shapefiles from the regional geodatabase. A datum transformation
from NAD83 to WGS84 using the NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1 datum
transformation method was applied to the data. The data were checked
with the SSURGO Evaluation scripts provided by U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service. The shapefiles
were then uploaded to the soil data warehouse for archival and
