SoilWeb 2.3

The SoilWeb for iOS application provides access to soil survey information from the SSURGO dataset, published by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, based on your current location.

This application serves as a streamlined version of the SoilWeb GMap web application. While the web version includes an interactive map for detailed viewing and querying of individual map units, this iOS app does not offer that functionality. However, it conveniently links to the SoilWeb GMap web app.

For a more comprehensive overview, you can visit SoilWeb GMap at https://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/gmap/
