Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where can I find the soil attribute data that goes with the coverage I downloaded?

All of the datasets on this site are in ARC/INFO Export format, and all associated data tables are bundled as part of the Export file. After you have unzipped and imported the data, you will be able to access the attribute files such as the Component Table from within your GIS software. The attribute files will be found as INFO files in the INFO directory where the coverage was imported.
