Types of Maps Found at the Soil and Water Conservation District

April 8, 2016 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

We are recently took a trip to visit to our county Soil and Water Conservation District.         I remembered a nature training that I took a few years ago and all the cool maps that they offer. I realized my children had not had this experience and wanted to share with them some of that same knowledge that I have.

The two staff members that showed us the maps were very enthusiastic and generous with their time and knowledge. They were eager to share with us the difference between the old style maps and the newer digital maps. Right inside the office were two large framed maps on the walls. We were then lead back to a work area with a large map on the wall, a few larger printers, and some smaller items such as soil survey books.

 

Types of Maps:

Land Cover Maps- these types of maps show the different areas that are agriculture, forest, and urban.

Contour Maps- These types of maps help determine where to dig a well or pond as well as where additional drainage may need to be placed in a field.

Global Soil Map- Shows all the types of soils found all around the world.
