Title
Thurston Soils Gopher USDA [Washington (State)--Thurston County]
Description
This data is a subset of the NRCS soils data (March 2007), as requested by Thurston County Development Services Long Range Planning. This data identifies soil types that support pocket gopher habitat and is intended for planning and conservation efforts. Text disclaimer for Gopher Soils per Thurston County Planning Department: All soils shown on the Mazama pocket gopher soils map are to be used to determine areas that could potentially be suitable for Mazama pocket gophers and their habitat. The soils are derived from the final Federal Rule regarding the listing of the Mazama pocket gopher, which is on file with the Resource Stewardship Department. This map is a screening tool of where Mazama pocket gophers or their habitat may be present. The map should not be used as a final indicator that gophers are present, or that gopher habitat exists on a specific property. Mazama pocket gophers can be found in other locations outside of the mapped areas. More information on Mazama pocket gophers can be obtained from the Thurston County Resource Stewardship Department website by going to www.thurstonprairiehcp.org, or by going to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Mazama pocket gopher information page at https://www.fws.gov/wafwo/mpg.html.From the NRCS Soils Metadata: This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and non soil areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. This data set is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool in permitting or citing decisions, but may be used as a reference source. This is public information and may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any authority for the decisions that they make. The Natural Resources Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps for purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than at which they were originally mapped can cause misinterpretation of the data. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale. The depicted soil boundaries, interpretations, and analysis derived from them do not eliminate the need for onsite sampling, testing, and detailed study of specific sites for intensive uses. Thus, these data and their interpretations are intended for planning purposes only. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.
