Processing Steps
- Added Soil Layer to Carmel River Watershed map from SURGO file.
- Added the acreage for each soil type and displayed only the prevalent ones to reduce number of soil types from 160 to about 20.
- Reviewed which soils displayed and modified the list in order to insure those soils nearest the rivers and streams were shown.
- Created the legend for the soils layer.
- Modified the colors to better distinguish between soil types.
