Flooding Frequency, based on soil characteristics, has been updated to the October 2019 NRCS SSURGO data release. Note there is a change to the legend used to depict the data in this update.
Forest Productivity is a measure of wood volume likely to be produced by the most important tree species based on soil characteristics.
Forest Productivity – Top Species/Tree Types depicts the most productive tree species or type based on soil characteristics.
This layer classifies soils types by farmland importance. Important farmlands consist of prime farmland, unique farmland, and farmland of statewide or local importance. Within these classifications, limitations to farmland importance may be noted. See Prime Farmlands Definitions for further information.
The 2-Digit Hydrologic Units, a component of the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), depict the major water resource regions of the United States. A water resource region is the first level of classification used by the United States Geological Survey to … Continued
The 4-Digit Hydrologic Units, a component of the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), depict the second level hydrologic subdivision of the United States. A 4-digit hydrologic unit includes the area drained by a river system, a reach of a river and … Continued
The 6-Digit Hydrologic Units, a component of the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), depict the third level hydrologic subdivision of the United States. A 6-digit hydrologic unit may subdivide a 4-digit hyrologic unit or may be equivalent. There are 401 6-digit … Continued
