The soil landscapes map is a vector data set showing the soil landscape polygons from the ten sheets of the Atlas of Australian Soils. Attributes include the Atlas of Australian Soils map unit (soil landscape) and dominant soil type attributes. The digital version of the Atlas of Australian Soils was created by NRIC (National Resource Information Centre) in 1991 from scanned tracings of the published hardcopy maps (1 - 10), Northcote et al. (1960 - 1968). The Atlas of Australian Soils (Northcote et al, 1960-68) was compiled by CSIRO in the 1960's to provide a consistent national description of Australia's soils. It comprises a series of ten maps and associated explanatory notes, compiled by K.H. Northcote and others. The maps were published at a scale of 1:2,000,000, but the original compilation was at scales from 1:250,000 to 1:500,000.
