The survey area covers 580km2 to the east of the Adelaide River and south of the Arnhem Highway. The purpose of this survey was to map, describe and evaluate land to assist in future land use planning and management.
The polygon linework was redrawn in 2014 and an addtional land unit, 3b1, was created. This land unit is not described in the report. The soil description is similar to 3b however the dominant vegetation type is Dry Rainforest.

Map unit boundaries digitised on screen directly from digital rectified aerial photographs. 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 high to very high.
POINT SOURCE DATA
Site point coordinates derived from a geographic positioning system with general accuracy of within 10-50m.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. Core attribute values, as described in the Data Dictionary below, were added to each map unit polygon in Sept 2014.0Map unit boundaries delineated from aerial photographs. Aerial photography scanned and rectified. Linework digitised on screen directly from original aerial photographs.
Map unit boundaries derived using aerial photography and digital satellite imagery, geological and topographic data. Field data (site information) described and classified according to national standards at the time of capture.
Map unit polygons collected via geographic information system (ARC/MapInfo). Core landform, soil and vegetation attributes attached to map units with additional attributes unique to individual surveys.
