- Abstract:
-
This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most
detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National
Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing
maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base
and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely
sensed and other information.
This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and
computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area
extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory
of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable
pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at
the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line
features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features
too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large
enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and
management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the
National Soil Information System relational database, which gives
the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.
- Purpose:
-
SSURGO depicts information about the kinds and distribution of
soils on the landscape. The soil map and data used in the SSURGO
product were prepared by soil scientists as part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Digital versions of hydrography, cultural features, and other
associated layers that are not part of the SSURGO data set may be
available from the primary organization listed in the Point of
Contact.

This data set is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool
in permitting or citing decisions, but may be used as a reference
source. This is public information and may be interpreted by
organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on
needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate
application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to
reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any
authority for the decisions that they make. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps
for purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs.
Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater
than at which they were originally mapped can cause misinterpretation
of the data. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale. The
depicted soil boundaries, interpretations, and analysis derived from
them do not eliminate the need for onsite sampling, testing, and
detailed study of specific sites for intensive uses. Thus, these data
and their interpretations are intended for planning purposes only.
Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and
users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Attribute accuracy is tested by manual
comparison of the source with hard copy plots and/or symbolized
display of the map data on an interactive computer graphic system.
Selected attributes that cannot be visually verified on plots or
on screen are interactively queried and verified on screen. In
addition, the attributes are tested against a master set of valid
attributes. All attribute data conform to the attribute codes in
the signed classification and correlation document and amendment(s).
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Certain node/geometry and topology GT- polygon/chain relationships
are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements
(the GT-polygon corresponds to the soil delineation). Some of these
requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains
must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through
nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain
element and are consistent throughout, and the chains representing
the limits of the file are free of gaps. The tests of logical
consistency are performed using vendor software. All internal
polygons are tested for closure with vendor software and are checked
on hard copy plots. All data are checked for common soil lines (i.e.,
adjacent polygons with the same label). Edge locations generally do
not deviate from centerline to centerline by more than 0.01 inch.
The quadrangles in this soil survey are edge matched to quadrangles in
the adjacent SSURGO certified soil surveys of Brown County, Waupaca County,
Shawano County, Calumet and Manitowoc Counties and Winnebago County,
Wisconsin. The soil survey area boundaries are an exact match.
Most feature edges match adjacent ones in the edgematched soil survey area.
Descriptive attributes (tabular information about the polygons and line
segments) were developed specifically for each soil survey area. Although
most don't match exactly, the descriptive attributes of most polygon and
line segments in this soil survey are nearly the same as adjacent ones in
the edgematched soil survey.

A map unit is a collection of areas defined and named in terms of
their soil components or miscellaneous areas or both. Each map
unit differs in some respect from all others in a survey area and
each map unit has a symbol that uniquely identifies the map unit
on a soil map. Each individual area, point, or line so identified
on the map is a delineation.
Soil Scientists identify small areas of soils or miscellaneous areas
that have properties and behavior significantly different than the
named soils in the surrounding map unit. These minor components
may be indicated as special features. If they have a minimal effect
on use and management, or could not be precisely located, they many
not be indicated on the map.
A map unit has specified kinds of soils or miscellaneous areas
(map unit components), each with a designated range in
proportionate extent. Map units include one or more kinds of soil
or miscellaneous area. Miscellaneous areas are areas that have little
or no recognizable soil.
Specific National Cooperative Soil Survey standards and procedures
were used in the classification of soils, design and name of map
units, and location of special soil features. These standards are
outlined in Agricultural Handbook 18, Soil Survey Manual, 1993,
USDA, NRCS; Agricultural Handbook 436, Soil Taxonomy, 1995,
USDA, NRCS; and all Amendments; Keys to Soil Taxonomy,
(current issue) USDA, NRCS; National Soil Survey
Handbook, title 430-VI,(current issue) USDA, NRCS.
The actual composition and interpretive purity of the map unit
delineations were based on data collected by scientists during
the course of preparing the soil maps. Adherence to National
Cooperative Soil Survey standards and procedures is based on
peer review, quality control, and quality assurance. Quality
control is outlined in the memorandum of understanding for the
soil survey area and in documents that reside with the Natural
Resources Conservation Service state soil scientist. Four kinds
of map units are used in soil surveys: consociations, complexes,
associations, and undifferentiated groups.
Consociations - Consociations are named for the dominant soil.
In a consociation, delineated areas use a single name from the
dominant component in the map unit. Dissimilar components are
minor in extent. The soil component in a consociation may be
identified at any taxonomic level. Soil series is the lowest
taxonomic level. A consociation that is named as a miscellaneous
area is dominantly that kind of area and minor components do not
significantly affect the use of the map unit. The total amount of
dissimilar inclusions of other components in a map unit generally
does not exceed about 15 percent if limiting and 25 percent if
nonlimiting. A single component of a dissimilar limiting inclusion
generally does not exceed 10 percent if very contrasting.
Complexes and associations - Complexes and associations consist
of two or more dissimilar components that occur in a regularly
repeating pattern. The total amount of other dissimilar components
is minor extent. The following arbitrary rule determines whether
complex or association is used in the name. The major components
of an association can be separated at the scale of mapping. In
either case, because the major components are sufficiently different
in morphology or behavior, the map unit cannot be called a
consociation. In each delineation of a complex or an association,
each major component is normally present though their proportions
may vary appreciably from one delineation to another. The total
amount of inclusions in a map unit that are dissimilar to any of
the major components does not exceed 15 percent if limiting and
25 percent if nonlimiting. A single kind of dissimilar limiting
inclusion usually does not exceed 10 percent.
Undifferentiated groups - Undifferentiated groups consist of two
or more components that are not consistently associated
geographically and, therefore, do not always occur together in
the same map delineation. These components are included in the
same named map unit because their use and management are the same
or very similar for common uses. Generally they are grouped together
because some common feature, such as steepness, stoniness, or
flooding, determines their use and management. If two or more
additional map units would serve no useful purpose, they may be
included in the same unit. Each delineation has at least one of the
major components, and some may have all of them. The same principles
regarding the proportion of minor components that apply to
consociations also apply to undifferentiated groups. The same
principles regarding proportion of inclusion apply to
undifferentiated groups as to consociations.
Minimum documentation consists of three complete soil profile
descriptions that are collected for each soil added to the legend,
one additional per 3,000 acres mapped; three 10 observation
transects for each map unit, one additional 10 point transect per
3,000 acres.
A defined standard or level of confidence in the interpretive
purity of the map unit delineations is attained by adjusting the
kind and intensity of field investigations. Field investigations
and data collection are carried out in sufficient detail to name
map units and to identify accurately and consistently areas of
about 3 acres.

The accuracy of these digital data is based upon their
compilation to base maps that meet National Map
Accuracy Standards at a scale of 1 inch equals 1,000
feet. The difference in positional accuracy between the
soil boundaries and special soil features locations in the
field and their digitized map locations is unknown. The
locational accuracy of soil delineations on the ground varies
with the transition between map units.
For example, on long gently sloping landscapes the transition
occurs gradually over many feet. Where landscapes change
abruptly from steep to level, the transition will be very
narrow. Soil delineation boundaries and special soil features
generally were digitized within 0.01 inch of their locations on
the digitizing source. The digital map elements are edge matched
between data sets. The data along each quadrangle edge are
matched against the data for the adjacent quadrangle. Edge
locations generally do not deviate from centerline to centerline
by more than 0.01 inch.

The Outagamie County had a previously published soil
survey, 1978, at 1:15840 scale. An evaluation was made of the soil
survey in 1996. It was determined that the soil map delineations
and map unit components were accurate.

Ratio film positives, at 1:12000 scale, were
made from the final publication negatives. Soil map unit delineations
and special soil features were manually compiled from the ratio
film positives to overlays registered to the 3.75 minute orthophoto
quadrangles. Errors from the published soil survey were corrected
and map unit boundaries were refined, as needed to the orthophoto
image.

The 3.75 minute quadrangle annotated overlays
were raster scanned by Midwest Graphics, Milwaukee, Wisconsin at
250 dpi on an Intergraph AnaTech scanner in rlc format. Four control
points corresponding to the four corners on the 3.75 minute
quadrangles were used for registration during data collection. The
data were then sent to the Wisconsin Digitizing Unit, Madison,
Wisconsin. The county boundary was manually digitized from the 7.5
minute USGS topographic quadrangles in LT4X Version 4.02 on a Sun
UNIX Workstation and exported and snapped together using GRASS
Version 4.13 and then imported back into LT4X. The special soil
features were manually digitized from the scanning source in LT4X
at a resolution of 0.01 inch. The raster editing, labeling, edge-
matching, vector conversion and editing were done in LT4X Version
4.02. The data were created and maintained in North American Datum
of 1983. Check plots of the soils and special soil features data
were reviewed by a soil scientist and the cartographic staff at the
Wisconsin Digitizing Unit, Madison, Wisconsin and the Rhinelander
Map Compilation Project Office, Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The soils
and special soil features data were exported as DLGs in LT4X. The
DLG-3 Optional format files were evaluated with the February 1998
ARC/INFO SSURGO Evaluation AMLs provided by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, National
Cartography and Geospatial Center, Fort Worth, Texas. Upon
successful completion of the SSURGO evaluation, the DLGs were
rewritten from the ARC/INFO Version 7.1.1 on a Sun UNIX Workstation.
The new ARC/INFO version DLGs were rechecked with the February 1998
ARC/INFO SSURGO Evaluation AMLs. These DLGs were processed with the
ARC/INFO archiving AMLs provided by U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Cartography and
Geospatial Center, Fort Worth, Texas.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service State Soil Scientist or
delegate, upon completion of data quality verification, determined
that the tabular data should be released for official use. A
selected set of map units and components in the soil survey legend was
copied to a staging database, and rating values for selected
interpretations were generated. The list of selected interpretations is
stored in the database table named sainterp.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service State Soil
Scientist or delegate verified that the labels on the digitized soil map
units link to map units in the tabular database, and certified the
joined data sets for release to the Soil Data Warehouse. A system
assigned version number and date stamp were added and the data were
copied to the data warehouse. The tabular data for the map units and
components were extracted from the data warehouse and reformatted into
the soil data delivery data model, then stored in the Soil Data Mart.
The spatial data were copied to the Soil Data Mart without change.
TAM3 - Data elements that comprise the Forage Suitability Groups were
added to the major soil components in most mapunits. However, most major
components named as miscellaneous areas, i.e. water, gravel pits,
quarries, etc., other components lacking sufficient soil property data
to assign them to a Forage Suitability Group, and any minor components
were not populated with this new information. This new soil data
interpretation and a number of quality control checks were provided to
improve accuracy and interpretation for soils data users.

- Process_Description:
-
The spatial data were downloaded from Soil Data Mart
by the Wisconsin Digitizing Unit in Madison, Wisconsin. The data were
processed in ARCGIS 9.2 using a topology object with a 0.1 meter cluster
tolerance for the purpose of eliminating gaps and overlaps along the
shared boundaries of Brown County, Shawano County, Waupaca County,
Calumet and Manitowoc Counties, and Winnebago County, Wisconsin.
Additional edits were made to resolve any gaps or overlaps that exceeded
the 0.1 meter cluster tolerance. In ARC/INFO, the Outagamie County data
were generalized with a tolerance of one meter to reduce vertex density
for the purpose of reducing the overall database size. During this
process measures were taken to insure the line quality was not degraded.
The data were checked with the SSURGO Evaluation AMLs provided by U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service,
National Cartography and Geospatial Center for accuracy and
completeness. The data were processed using May, 2004 Recert AMLs
provided by NCGC and submitted to the Soil Data Warehouse for archival
and distribution.

Map Unit Delineations are closed polygons that may be dominated
by a single soil or miscellaneous area component plus allowable
similar or dissimilar soils, or they can be geographic mixtures
of groups of soils or soils and miscellaneous areas.
The map unit symbol uniquely identifies each closed map unit
delineation. Each symbol corresponds to a map unit name. The
map unit key is used to link to information in the National
Soil Information System tables.
Map Unit Delineations are described by the National Soil
Information System database. This attribute database gives the
proportionate extent of the component soils and the properties for
each soil. The database contains both estimated and measured data
on the physical and chemical soil properties and soil
interpretations for engineering, water management, recreation,
agronomic, woodland, range, and wildlife uses of the soil.
The National Soil Information System database contains static
metadata. It documents the data structure and includes such
information as what tables, columns, indexes, and relationships
are defined as well as a variety of attributes of each of these
database objects. Attributes include table and column
descriptions and detailed domain information.
The National Soil Information System database also contains a
distribution metadata. It records the criteria used for selecting
map units and components for inclusion in the set of distributed
data.
Special features are described in the feature table. It includes an
area symbol, feature label, feature name, and feature description for
each special and ad hoc feature in the survey area.
