Missouri General Soil Map

The Missouri General Soil map (GSM) was newly revised in 2003. It is designed for use at a scale of 1:250,000, and is appropriate for regional or statewide studies. The GSM replaces the former STATSGO (State Soil Geographic Database; based on data available up to 1988) and the 1:1,333,300-scale Missouri General Soil Map from 1979. It has been incorporated into the new U.S. General Soil Map (STATSGO2) and can be used for regional or multi-state studies.

The Missouri General Soil Map can be accessed at the Missouri Cooperative Soil Survey Web site. A hard copy map is also available. Contact:
