Bedford County Soil - Open Data (2016)

This dataset provides detailed soil mapping and associated attributes for Bedford County, Virginia, developed through the USDA's Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database program. It includes georeferenced vector data and tabular attributes sourced from the National Soil Information System (NASIS). The mapping was conducted at a scale of 1:24,000 and offers information on soil composition, properties, and suitability for land use, engineering, agriculture, conservation, and recreation. This data is shared publically on the open data hub for Bedford County, VA. Bedford County GIS is responsible for maintaining the data in the layer and to review it every 3 years. This layer is expected to be maintained indefinitely. The SSURGO dataset includes: Polygon features representing soil map units. Optional special soil features (point/line) for features too small to be mapped as polygons. Linkages to NASIS attribute data, including physical and chemical soil properties, as well as interpretations for common land uses.
