Soils of the Neuarpur area

Intermittent Swamps | Little Desert | Lunettes | Permanent Waterbodies | Sand Plains and Rises | Southern Cracking Clay Plains | Yellow Gum Plains and Rises | Neuarpur Soil Index


The soils and landform of this area was mapped in 1997 as part of a report on the ‘Agricultural and Horticultural Suitability for the West Wimmera Shire’ by N.M Baxter et al. Agriculture Victoria, Department of Natural Resources and Environment.

Landscape

Soils of the Neuarpur area
Neuarpur Groundwater Supply and Protection Area		The Land Units mapped as part of this study identify areas of land on the basis of similar geology, slope and soil types.

Mapping was carried out at a 1:100 000 map 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 proper on-site assessment of the soil and landscape.
