Lineage The soil map was digitised by using the farm boundary layer as reference dataset. The LSA had a projection issue as well as there was no mention of the projection/datum used originally by the author of the report, as it wasn't printed on the map. The warping technique was adopted to make them best-fit the farm boundaries layer.The attribute table describes onlyn the code of the soil map and the associated descriptive text. Furthedetails on the soil classification can be acquired from the report "R.B.King, D.M. Lang and A.Blair Rains, 1969, Land SystemAnalysis of the Falkland Islands, with notes on the soil and grassland. Land Resources Division Directorate of Overseas Surveys. Tolworth Surrey, England, UK".
