Soils Map

Soil study at a "semi-detailed" scale was carried out in the San Agustín-Isnos survey zone, resulting in the delineation of 54 soilscapes, each of which was rated in terms of agricultural potential under prehispanic technology. Click here to download the detailed SOILS.PDF report of this soil study in .PDF format.

The map of the soilscapes in the San Agustín-Isnos survey zone is provided as compressed ZIP files in two GIS formats: Idrisi (Version 17--Selva) and GEOTIFF raster files. Each Idrisi compressed file will produce two files with the same name and the extensions .RST and .RDC. Each GEOTIFF compressed file will produce two files with the same name and the extensions .TIF and .TFW.

Soilscapes

There are two versions of the soilscapes map. In the first version the cell values are codes for each individual soilscape defined in the report mentioned above as follows:

• 0 = Outside survey zone
• 1 = FmH11b
• 2 = FmH12c
• 3 = Fm H13De
• 4 = Fm M11b
• 5 = Fm M12c
• 6 = Fm M13ef
• 7 = Fm M14bc
• 8 = Mh A11ab
• 9 = Mh A12bc
• 10 = Mh A13cd
• 11 = Mh A14de
• 12 = Mh A15bc
• 13 = Mh A21ab
• 14 = Mh A22cd
• 15 = Mh A23cd
• 16 = Mh A24cd
• 17 = Mh A25de
• 18 = Mh A26cd
• 19 = Mh A31a
• 20 = Mh A32a
• 21 = not used (soilscape only outside survey zone)
• 22 = Mh C11fg
• 23 = Mh C12de
• 24 = Mh C21cd
• 25 = Mh D11d

• 43 = Ms L23d
• 44 = Ms L24cd
• 45 = Ms L25d
• 46 = Ms V1a
• 47 = Ms V2a
• 48 = Ms V3a
• 49 = Ms V4a
• 50 = Ms V51b
• 51 = Ms V52c
• 52 = Ms V61g
• 53 = Ms V62h
• 54 = Ms V63Fg

Agricultural Productivity Ratings

In the second version of the soils map, the cell values are the agricultural productivity ratings for each soilscape as follows:

• 0 = Outside survey zone
• 1 = Extremely limited potential
• 2 = Very limited potential
• 3 = Limited potential
• 4 = Low-to-Moderate Potential
• 5 = Moderate Potential
• 6 = Moderate-to-Good Potential
• 7 = Good potential
