Land unit mapping of Corangamite region of Victoria, Australia

A polygonal dataset of land units and soil types in the Corangamite Catchment region of Victoria. The dataset was developed by the project "A Land Resource Assessment of the Corangamite Region" conducted by Robinson et al. (2003). This project was undertaken by the PIRVic Division within the Department of Primary Industries, for the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority. It utilised existing surveys such as Maher and Martin 1987 and Pitt 1981, remote sensing information and additional field work to develop updated 1:100 000 scale soil/landform mapping across the region. Over 200 soil/landform units have been defined for the region. A number of soil surveys have been previously completed in this region at varying scales and intensity. In June 2013 a dominant soil type was assigned to each unit (by David Rees, Agriculture Victoria Research) to facilitate the creation of a digital soil map of Victoria. Australian Soil Classification (Order and SubOrder) have been included in the dataset's attribute table.
