Description

Abstract:

This land resource polygon dataset is mapped at a survey scale of 1:100 000 and includes a description of the landforms, soils and vegetation over the Auvergne Pastoral Lease.
The surveyed area of 4,260 km2 is located 350 km south west of Darwin and is located on the northern part of the Victoria River District, (VRD) Northern Territory.
The objectives of the project are to map and describe the area and provide this information to the land manager, industry, government and other relevant stakeholders.

This information is a supplement to the Land Resources of the Victoria River District (2012) and completes the land resource assessment of the district covering 24 properties.

An additional dataset describes General Salinity Risk. The mapped areas display a general assessment of soil salinity risk and do not correlate directly with each land unit. Chapter 7.3 in the accompanying report should be read in conjunction with this dataset.

Data Quality

Lineage:Map unit boundaries delineated from digital satellite imagery (WorldView-2) and digital elevation model (SRTM-derived 1 second Smoothed DEM). Preliminary line work was captured on field map sheets. Field map sheets incorporated digital satellite imagery and DEM layers. Field map sheets with final line work were scanned and rectified. Line work digitised on screen directly from field map sheets.
Map unit boundaries derived using digital satellite imagery, DEM, 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 (ArcGIS/MapInfo). Core landform, soil and vegetation attributes attached to map units with additional attributes unique to individual surveys.

Positional Accuracy:Polygon data - Map unit boundaries digitised on screen directly from digital rectified field maps. Level of accuracy depends on the number of control points on individual map sheets. Control points exclusively used Map Grid of Australia (MGA) grid lines. 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 data - Site point coordinates derived from a geographic positioning system with general accuracy of within 10-50m.

Attribute Accuracy:The attribute information conforms to the 'Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook' at time of capture.
Attributes 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, assigned to each polygon, are described in the Data Dictionary below.
The attribute naming format uses 10 characters with no spaces to be suitable for an ESRI shape-file format. An alias attribute name is applied to an ESRI file geo-database format.

Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon topology rules applied are; must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label. (ie single part polygons)

Completeness:The project is complete.
