----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello all, I ran across the address for a new WWW site today so I decided to try it out. The address for the National Cartography and GIS Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is: http://www.ncg.scs.ag.gov/geocp.html They have information on digital soil data that is available from SCS (for a small or sometimes small fee). They also have a few digitized state soil maps that can be displayed in gif format. While we are at it, though, I recently obtained a copy of a book titled: State Soil Geographic Data Base (STATSGO) and their 1995 Data Catalog from them. Please note: Although STATSGO is a SCS Miscellaneous Publication, (no. 1492) this series is NOT depository. You will have to write them for the information. Their address is: National Cartography & GIS Center U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Natural Resources Database Branch P.O. Box 6567 Fort Worth, TX 76115 Have fun crawling through the web site. Linda Zellmer
