Soil Landscape Mapping - Rangelands (DPIRD-063)

Land system mapping for the pastoral area of Western Australia (Version April 2018).

Most mapping is at scale 1:250, 000, except for Wiluna-Meekatharra (1:506, 880). A desktop mapping exercise was carried out in 2007 to update the original 1:1,000,000 CSIRO Kimberley Region surveys to make them suitable for use in 1:100, 000 scale pastoral lease mapping. Survey program is in progress and some areas are yet to be surveyed. Most surveys are accompanied by a Technical Bulletin report which provides more detailed information.

For map production purposes, land systems are grouped into Land Types. A standard colour has been assigned to each land type for map production purposes.

This data set includes pastoral potential classifications.
