United States Geological Survey's National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC), and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) 20020530 Vector Digital Data Lafayette, Louisiana, US USGS BRD's National Wetlands Research Center This data set contains vector line map information. The vector data contain selected base categories of geographic features, and characteristics of these features, in digital form. The information was collected by digitizing and/or scanning soil information complied onto 7.5-minute quadrangle mylar sheets, creating an editable, digital soil coverage. The data set used 1:24000 scale hardcopy USGS standard quadrangle maps and the State Soil Survey of St. Landry Parish as a data development resource. The classified data was derived from actual field identification and sampling performed by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), in Alexandria, Louisiana (formerly Soil Conservation Service). Digital data is available by Parish. The digital data is not Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURGO) certified. To provide digital overlays of the soils of Louisiana by parish for the NRCS, that can be updated and used as a layer in a GIS application. 19990826 20020529 Publication date of sources Complete Irregular -92.493 -91.679 30.850 30.299 None Vector line data Soils Digital Data ARC/INFO NRCS Parish Department of Commerce, 1990, Counties and Equivalent Entities of the United States, its Possessions, and Associated Areas (Federal Information Processing Standard 6-4): Washington, Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Lafayette Louisiana 70506 337-266-8543 337-266-8616 steve_hartley@usgs.gov 8:00 am to 4:00 pm CST Monday through Friday The NWRC acknowledges the NRCS for use of data derived from the SSURGO soils maps for St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Digitizing was performed in Production ARC/Edit, an adaptation of ARC/Edit module. Scanning was performed on the IDEAL, FSC 8010 Color Scanner utilizing CADImage_Scan+Feature version 1.0 software and I_Vector version 3.81 for vectorization. Editing and labeling was performed in ARC/INFO version 7+ and ArcView, version 3.x software. The computer operating system platform was UNIX and/or Windows NT. The accuracy is not based on a formal quantitative assessment and was based on the judgement of the soil conservationist in the field. Ground truthing was not performed for this project. To attain a better estimate of accuracy, a formal re-evaluation of the soils of St. Landry Parish, Louisiana would be necessary to see if there are areas where discrepancies exist. All polygons are closed, and have been cleaned in an editing environment. Adjacent polygons do not have identical attributes. Each polygon has one and only one attribute. All data sets were derived in the same general format. All soil information was transferred onto transparent mylar sheets, for each topographic quadrangle in the parish, from the existing State Soils Survey for the parish. Mylar overlays were digitized (entered at an error of less than .005 for geographic positioning) and/or scanned then rectified. Each quadrangle mylar overlay was digitized and/or scanned separately and therefore may represent different amounts of human and/or equipment error. Parish coverage quadrangles land-water interfaces were corrected by best judgement on-screen digitizing to Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQ's), if available. For parishes created before DOQQ's were available, the land-water interfaces were included on the mylar sheets. For parishes created after DOQQ's became available, the land-water interfaces were digitized on-screen separately from the soil lines; therefore they are not included on the mylar sheets. The land-water coverages and soil line coverages were then appended and cleaned to create the total quadrangle coverage. Each quadrangle was edited individually, and then all quadrangles in the parish were joined together. Once joined together, editing was done along all quadrangle boundaries to match lines and labels. When line or label errors were found, all corrections were made upon approval of the NRCS. Problems with labeling occurred along adjoining parish boundaries, due to different labeling conventions in each parish. A standard labeling convention system for the whole state of Louisiana must be created to remedy the problem. Until this standard is developed, the following labeling tactics have been used. New labels were created for parish coverages in order to match labels for adjoining parishes. Changes were dependent upon soil definition, polygon size, and cases of duplication problems. A duplication problem means the label already existed in the parish coverage and is a different unit altogether and therefore can not be added to that legend. New labels were also created when new lines were needed to reduce confusion. Lines were added in special cases: 1) if it was advantageous to extend an unit a small portion into the next parish, rather than renaming the whole polygon; and 2) if the two units adjoining are similar, differing only in transitional phase, then a line was added at the most logical area of transition, aided by imagery, in order to keep the two units separate. New labels were created in the coverages which the line was added as long as there was not duplication problems. If major complications occurred when trying to add labels, these areas were left as is, waiting for a standard soil convention. These problems can be fixed after a standard Louisiana State soil code convention is established. The attribute legend for St. Landry Parish is found in the Entity and Attribute Section. This includes current modifications for completeness with surrounding parishes. All changes to the St. Landry Parish soil lines and legend are documented in a report to be stored with the state soils archives at the NRCS in Alexandria, LA. Modifications to the St. Landry Parish include the following: The following soil codes changed to match Acadia; Ac to AdB, Fo to FoA, Fr to FrA, Je to JeA, Ma to MaB, Md to MbC, Pa to PaA, Pb to PaB; Added new soil codes BSA, DuB, KvA, MtA, PcA from Acadia; Added UD (Levee), a new addition requested by Louisiana's State Soil Scientist as an update; Changed soil code FC to FE, across many parishes; Added M-W (Miscellaneous water) replacing, for example, sewage ponds.

Data for some parish soil maps may vary slightly. The data set was compiled by taking the original soil lines drawn over aerial photography by NRCS and transferring them to 7.5 minute quadrangle mylar sheets with a scale of 1:24,000 aided by the most accurate and available imagery. Soil lines for St. Landry Parish were initially compiled by the NRCS, excluding 3 quadrangles that were compiled at the NWRC over Spot/TM Imagery. The compiled soil lines for each quadrangle were then digitized and/or scanned individually. All quadrangles were then appended, cleaned, joined together and labeled to form the body of the parish coverage. On-screen land-water interfaces for every quadrangle were constructed, utilizing digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (DOQQ's) after the soil lines were digital. On-screen and tablet digitizing was done using Production ARC/Edit, an adaptation of ESRI's ARC/Edit module. Scanning was performed on the IDEAL, FSC 8010 Color Scanner utilizing CADImage_Scan+Feature version 1.0 software and I_Vector version 3.81 for vectorization. The ARC/EDIT module was used for coverage generation with geospatial data, building, cleaning, and joining coverages. Polygons were assigned attributes, as labels, in ARCVIEW. The information is stored both as an ARC/INFO coverage and an exported .e00 compression file. 1998 The State of Louisiana Vector Universal Transverse Mercator 15 -93 0 500,000 0 .9996 Coordinate Pair .61 .61 Meters North American Datum of 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257 Soils A natural, three-dimensional body at the earth's surface.
