Yarram Mapsheet

The soils and landforms of the Yarram 1:100 000 mapsheet were mapped by Ian Sargeant and described by Ian Sargeant and Mark Imhof during 1997/98. This work was supported by the State Government's Agriculture and Food Initiative as part of the Victorian Resource Atlas project. Stefan Kaiser (former DCNR, Yarram) provided valuable assistance with the soil pit site description program in December 1997.

Information on the soil/landscape units mapped can be obtained by clicking the map legend. Mapping was carried out at a 1:100 000 scale which necessitated some generalisation. Users should exercise caution when interpreting map information as it presents a guide only as to the likely soil types in an area. In any one area soils can vary significantly according to landscape, geology and management. Any agricultural enterprise should be based on a detailed on-site assessment of the soil and landscape.To view the information PDF requires the use of a PDF reader.
