It covers the southern part (approx 70%) of the Northern Territory. Published maps were made digital and edited to accommodate overlaps, gaps and mismatching boundaries. Where possible, the land system descriptions have been extrapolated into areas covered by the broader scale Atlas mapping.Download the spatial data package (contains spatial data, maps and reports) via https://data.nt.gov.au/ You are licensed to use the DENR geospatial products on the terms and conditions set out in: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC BY 4.0) at: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode If you do not agree to the terms and conditions you must not use the geospatial products.

Mapping boundaries have been scanned and digitised from paper maps. When overlain on a satellite image, the intention of the mapped boundaries is apparent, although the positional accuracy is still dependent on original map product.0not knownMany of the original Land System maps were only attributed with a mapunit (generally an abbreviation of the land system name from the accompanying report). The attribution of the coverage continues to be a time intensive process involving repetitive perusal of published reports. A number of general purpose fields have been added to the coverage to add to its versatility and purpose, as well as keep account of its derivation and various modifications to it. Some of these are incomplete or still in progress. In the current version the field names have abbreviated to 10 character width so they are retained when converted to shapefile.0Land system surveys (1:1,000,000) have been undertaken in the NT since the 1940's. These surveys involved mapping boundaries on aerial photographs, collection and collation of extensive field information and ultimately the production of a report and series of maps. In some cases these surveys were very specific to their particular project area and no correlation was made with previous or adjoining work. In amalgamating these surveys modifications to some of the original interpretations has been necessary. The surveys are listed below in other comments.
