Annitowa has been mapped into twenty-eight land units at a scale of 1:100,000 on the basis of the stereo-interpretation of aerial photographs and extensive on-ground survey. Each land unit has a distinctive set of characteristics - including soil and vegetation type, grazing characteristics, stocking capacity and erosion hazard. The associated report also provides a detailed description of each land unit and its pastoral management features, as well as information on the physical environment. The original survey was undertaken in 1993 at a mapping scale of 1:100,000. Core attributes describing the land units were added to the spatial dataset in November 2013.

Polygon topology rules applied are; must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.0not known POLYGON DATA Map unit boundaries transferred from aerial photographs to topographic maps, using the best available topographic mapping at the time (generally 1:100 000) via a mapograph. Level of accuracy depends on the number of control points on individual aerial photographs. Control points include creek lines, cadastre and other topographic features. Depending on the nature of the landscape (the number of control points), positional accuracy may vary. Positional accuracy generally considered moderate to high. POINT DATA Site point coordinates collected from a geographic positioning system with general accuracy of within 100m. Selective availability during this time prevented increased accuracy.0not knownAttributes assigned according to the dominant feature. For example, where ten sites have been grouped to describe a particular map unit and two different soils described from these sites then the dominant soil is chosen. Attribute values, as described in the Data Dictionary below, have been added to each polygon.0Original map unit boundaries delineated from aerial photographs and stereoscope interpretation. Map units transferred to topographic map sheets via a mapograph. Original maps were hardcopy only. With the advent of geographic information systems polygons were digitised by rectifying the original hard copy maps. Map unit boundaries derived using hard copy aerial photography and stereoscope, satellite imagery (post 1993), geological and topographic maps. Field data (site data) described and classified according to national standards at the time of capture. Map unit polygons collected via geographic information system (ArcGIS/MapInfo). Core landform, soil and vegetation attributes attached to map units with additional attributes unique to individual surveys.
