This data set was clipped using ESRI ArcGIS to show only soils within the Waianae moku. It was clipped from the state shapefile entitled soils that shows soil data for the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu. Using ArcMap editing functions, soil features were then combined into similar categories based on their name, removing any distinction of slope or rockiness. Most of the attribute fields were then deleted due to the fact they no longer directly correlated with the proper soil type/map unit code after the soil types were combined. Please see the "Soils" data layer for more detailed and accurate information pertaining to soils in Waianae.
The original file was received from the Natural Resrouces Conservation Service in March 2003.
