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 Rio Arriba Area, New Mexico, Parts of Rio Arriba and
Sandoval Counties Soil Survey do not match with the quadrangles in the
adjacent Sandoval County Area, New Mexico (Parts of Los Alamos, Sandoval
and Rio Arriba Counties) Soil Survey, Jicarilla Apache Area, New Mexico,
Parts of Rio Arriba and Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, and the Taos County
and Parts of Rio Arriba and Mora Counties, New Mexico Soil Survey.
Field procedures for the second and third order soil
survey included plotting of soil boundaries determined by field
observation and interpretation of remotely sensed data. Boundaries
were verified at closely spaced intervals, and the soils in each
delineation were identified by traversing and transecting the landscape.
Soil scientists described and sampled the soils, analyzed samples in
the laboratory, and statistically analyzed the data. The classification
and map unit names were finalized at the final correlation in
June, 1989. Two additional map units were added to the soil survey
in 2000. The change was made to reflect present day soil survey
concepts, soil classification and soil interpretations. Amendments
to the correlation document reflecting changes are on file at the
NRCS Phoenix Arizona M.O. office and New Mexico State Office.
The additional map units are as follows:

The soil area digitizing was completed by contract
administered by the NRCS National Cartography and Geospatial Center in
Fort Worth, Texas. Area delineations were manually digitized from the
film positives of the publication overlays, 1927 North American Datum
reference system. The one-third quadrangle data were then merged into
full 7.5 minute quadrangles. The data were formatted in Digital
Line Graph Optional format using contractor developed software.
The digitizing was verified by the NCG for conformity to specifications
prior to final contract approval and release to the state. The
special soils features were raster scanned on an IDEAL FSS 5000
Scanner at a resolution of 300 dpi. The special soil features were
processed in LT4X Version 4.11. The 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 NRCS New Mexico State
Office and the Temple Texas Digitizing and Certification Center.

The Temple Texas Digitizing and Certification
Center imported the soil area features and special soil features DLGs
into ARC/INFO 7.2.1. The 7.5 minute quadrangles for each coverage
were merged together into a soil survey area and 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.

soil survey area was downloaded from the Soil Data Mart on October 15, 2012.
The individual shapefiles were appended into a geodatabase for region 4.
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 4 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 distribution.
