Welcome to the Soil Data Mart! The Soil Data Mart allows you to:
  • Determine where soil tabular and spatial data is available.
  • Download data for one soil survey area at a time. (Download requests for more than one survey area at a time can be submitted through the Geospatial Data Gateway. Going through the Geospatial Data Gateway also provides the option to obtain data on CD or DVD.)
  • Download a template Microsoft Access® database for working with downloaded data.
  • Generate a variety of reports for one soil survey area at a time.
  • Find out who to contact for information about soil data for a particular state.
  • "Subscribe" or "unsubscribe" to a soil survey area. A person who is subscribed will automatically be notified whenever data for that soil survey area is updated. You must register and login before doing this.
An alternative presentation of the soil survey area data contained in the Soil Data Mart, including on screen or printed soil maps, is available through Web Soil Survey.

The Soil Data Access website provides additional options for requesting soil tabular and spatial data. This website and suite of web services is geared towards intermediate and advanced end-users.

  The Soil Data Mart may be unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Mountain time due to maintenance activities.  
  The Soil Data Mart has been tested under Mozilla Firefox® 1.0 and later, Microsoft Internet Explorer® 5.0 and later, and Netscape Navigator® 4.7 and later for Microsoft Windows®. There are differences in site navigation and mechanics under different versions of these browsers. Some differences are more significant than others. There are some major differences under Netscape Navigator® 4.7 and 4.8. For details on site navigation and mechanics under different versions of these browsers, please see Navigating and Using the Soil Data Mart on the Soil Data Mart Help page.

The Soil Data Mart interface does not work under Internet Explorer 9, at least for Windows 7, even with “compatibility mode” enabled. Since there is a work around, i.e. Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox, this issue will most likely not be resolved in the next few weeks. We will put up a home page message letting you know when this issue has been resolved. In the interim, we apologize for this inconvenience. 		 
  The Soil Data Mart provides an entry point to allow its pages to be integrated easily into other web sites. Get detailed information.
