This tool allows users to create soil-based thematic maps. The Soil Data Viewer provides access to soil interpretations and soil properties while shielding users from the complexity of the soil database and its more than 50 tables. Each soil map unit, typically a set of polygons, may contain multiple soil components. This data viewer makes it easy to compute a single value for a map unit and display results. Built as an extension to ArcMap, the application can run independent of ArcMap, but the output is then limited to a tabular report.
