This map shows the extents of the detailed soil mapping available for a variety of scales from NSRI Cranfield. These maps were conducted over three principle time periods.
From 1939 to 1966, mapping was carried out at a scale of 1:63,360 (1” to 1 mile). The areas mapped being selected to represent typical landscape types, soil problems, complexity of soil pattern and land use. Some 10% of England and Wales is mapped at this scale. Each map sheet covers 663 km² and 25 of these sheets have been published
Between 1966 and 1979, mapping was carried out at 1:25,000. More than 100 of these maps have been published together with accompanying books. The distribution of the areas selected corresponds with the Ordnance Survey 10x10km 1:25,000 series. Mapping at this scale relates soil type to individual fields depicted on the base map. The choice of mapped areas was based on pedological, geomorphological and scientific agricultural interest, representing wider districts with similar environments.
The period 1983 to 1985 resulted in the publication of five 1:50,000 maps, each of 1,600 km². The mapping procedures were similar to those used for previous local mapping. However, average density of observations was reduced proportionally. These maps were published with accompanying descriptive memoirs.
