Summary Abstract:	This map forms part of a set of six coloured Generalized Soil Maps, at different scales, of the Hawaiian Islands; which were prepared by the USDA-Soil Conservation Service & the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station. The actual soil survey dates from 1935-39; these maps therefore date before the islands joined the USA. This series is accompanied by a soil legend on a separate sheet archived as WOSSAC 47412, with coloured soil mapping units consisting of Soil Families grouped into 13 Great Soil Groups/Soil Orders. This map, at 1:338,800 scale, covers the Island of Hawaii. There is also a separate coloured set of 20 soil maps at the scale of 1: 62,500 for the Hawaiian islands. See also WOSSAC Ids; #47386 #47412
