S-map Online
S-map is a new digital soil spatial information system for New Zealand. It is being created as part of the government-funded Spatial Information programme run by Landcare Research. S-map Online is the web delivery service for S-map and has been developed and is operated by Landcare Research's Informatics team. S-map provides consistent and comprehensive national soil data layers to support applications at local, and regional to national scales. It builds on previous soil mapping by filling gaps with new mapping, and upgrading the information content and associated database to meet a new national standard. If you know the name of a soil, you can access factsheets about soils using the 'Search by soil name' function. In time, S-map will have national coverage and contain predominantly new digital data at a scale that resolves soil variation on hill slopes (nominally 1:50 000 scale).
