You are subscribed to one or more Soils topics for Farmers.gov. This information has recently been updated, and is now available.

As of November 14th, 2023, all gSSURGO databases have been updated with the most current SSURGO information. The databases can be downloaded for all states and island territories of the United States. Additionally, a single, large database is available for the conterminous United States (CONUS). Click on the links in the preceding sentences to download the data as zip files. Note: the CONUS was zipped as a split zip file and requires you to download all five files.

The gSSURGO databases are designed to deliver SSURGO data over large geographic areas in an ESRI File Geodatabase format. They include all SSURGO tabular and spatial data. The spatial soil map is delivered as both a vector polygon layer and a raster. You can read more about gSSURGO and learn how to work with the databases on the gSSURGO web page.

A custom set of ArcTools designed to aggregate gSSURGO soils information and produce thematic maps is also available. You can read about and download the tools in the SSURGO/gSSURGO ArcTools section of the gSSURGO web page. While there are many tools in this toolbox, most customers are interested in using the "Create Soil Map" tool. This tool is designed to produce the same thematic maps of aggregated soil data as Web Soil Survey and Soil Data Viewer.

Soil Data Development Toolbox: The Create Soil Map script tool is highlighted within the gSSURGO Mapping Toolset of the Soil Data Development Toolbox.

 

Currently, these custom ArcTools only work in ArcMap, but in the next few months, an updated version for ArcGIS Pro will be available.

Please contact the Soils Hotline for assistance with accessing and working with gSSURGO.
