Suite of tools used to interact with Soil Survey Geographic Databases (SSURGO) This python toolbox was designed to process and manage SSURGO downloads from Web Soil Survey and use them to create gSSURGO databases. Also includes tools to aggregate and map soils information within gSSURGO. This toolbox is still under development.
The Download and Construct Databases scripts are fully developed.
