Land units of the Glenelg Hopkins region of Victoria, Australia

This soil and landform polygonal dataset was produced as a final output from the Glenelg Hopkins land assessment study. The purpose of this study was to guide further agricultural development across the Glenelg Hopkins region. This soil and landform information is at a scale of 1:100 000. The detail available in current datasets is good for this scale but is not sufficient to provide landscape analysis at finer scales and should not therefore be used to plan land use strategies at more detailed scales (1:25 000 and larger) unless additional soil and land survey is captured to enhance map linework and subdivide the map units. Polygonal attributes include land unit codes, soil and landform groups and soils properties derived from 'type' sites.
