Summary Abstract:	This map (Western Sheet) forms part of a set of two coloured soil maps (Eastern & Western sheets) at scale 1:62,500, published in the 1950s, covering the island of Oahu of Hawaii. The actual soil survey dates from 1935-39. These maps therefore date before the islands joined the USA. The maps were published by the USDA Soil Conservation Service. The soil legend is in a separate sheet, archived as WOSSAC 47376, with coloured soil mapping units which are grouped together as Soil Associations. These Associations combine Topographic and Soil Series which are listed and described in the legend. See also WOSSAC Id: #47376 #47377
