SOIL LANDSCAPE MAP
Linework from the geology map is used in this soil map. Aninterpretation of the geological information is made fromdescriptions in the geology map and report, general soil knowledge,local soils knowledge, and limited field checking, to predict the soilsthat occur within the geology boundaries. The assumption is made,that as the geology map identifies geomorphologic features on thelandscape, that the interpretation can be used to provide a goodapproximation for the major soils present and their properties.The technical input and assistance of the following people isacknowledged - David Duncan, Pat Hulme, Geoff Kew and BrentForbes from Sustainable Soil Management; Robert Banks from SoilFutures Consulting; John Lawrie, Neroli Brennan, Bree Agar andAlan Welch from the Central West Catchment ManagementAuthority; Dr Brian W. Murphy and Andrew Wooldridge from theNSW Department of Environment, Climate Change & Water.
