Summary Abstract:This is the Legend to the series of twenty coloured soil maps at scale :1: 62,500, of the Hawaiian Islands, published in the 1950s by the USDA-Soil Conservation Service. The actual soil survey dates from 1935-39. These maps therefore date before the islands joined the USA. The separate soil legend, presents a list - with a brief description - of 401 Soil Series grouped into 47 Soil Associations which are portrayed as coloured mapping units. These associations combine topographic and soil series, which are also briefly described on the Legend.
