Map Index 1:250,000
The linework for these geological maps is used in this map, but aninterpretation of the geological information based on thedescriptions in the geological maps and report, general soilknowledge, local soils knowledge and limited field checking isused to predict the soils that occur within the geologicalboundaries. The assumption is made that as the geology mapidentifies the major geomorphological features on the landscape,that these can be used to provide a good approximation for themajor soils present and of the properties of those soils.The technical input and assistance of the following people isacknowledged - David Duncan and Pat Hulme from SustainableSoil Management; John Lawrie, Neroli Brennan, Bree Agar andAlan Welch from the Central West Catchment ManagementAuthority. The support of Greg Raisin from the NSW Departmentof Water & Energy, Jim Kellet from the Bureau of Rural Scienceand Allan Nicholson from the Central West CatchmentManagement Authority.Map compiled by -David Duncan (1), Dr. Brian .W. Murphy (2), Alan Welch (3),Andrew Wooldridge (2) & Sandy Grant (2)1. Sustainable Soil Management, Warren, NSW, 28242. NSW Department of Environment & Climate Change.3.
