Caribbean Area Soils
Updated
April 07, 2008
The Caribbean Area, comprised of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin
Islands, is part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) program. The
National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) is a nationwide partnership of federal,
regional, state, and local agencies and institutions. This partnership works
together to cooperatively investigate, inventory, document, classify, and
interpret soils and to disseminate, publish, and promote the use of information
about the soils of the United States and its trust territories. The activities
of the NCSS are carried out on national, regional, and state levels.

Web Soil Survey is now better than ever! Originally launched in
August 2005, the improved and enhanced version 2.0 is now available online.
Based on user comments,
new features and enhancements have been developed to make the
program more responsive to its growing customer base. Some new features
include a location marker, floating map unit descriptions, transparency
layers, a topographic map layer, and the ability to create custom soil
resource reports. |
