description: Soils lay in a complex mosaic across Minnesota. This mosaic is not random, but is the result of the blending of the effects of five major environmental elements. The five elements that lead to the pattern of soils that we observe are the geologic material from which the soils originally formed (the parent material); the climate in the area in which the material is found; properties of the landscape upon which that material lay, such as its slope and aspect (relief); the plans and animals (organisms) that can potentially live on or in the material; and the length of time during which the previous four elements have interacted. This generalized view of the Minnesota landscape results in this data set. The polygons were delineated based on the above five characteristics and originally produced on a map commonly referred to as the Cummings/Grigal Soils Map.
licenseInfo: Use of the data are contrained by the DNR GIS Data License Agreement. The USDA provides the following additional language: The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. 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.
