Summary Abstract:	This is the Legend to the series of six coloured Generalized Soil Maps, at reconnaissance scales, of the Hawaiian Islands, published in the 1950s 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. The separate Soil Legend, presents a list - with a brief description - of 104 Soil Families grouped into 15 Soil Orders/Great Soil Groups which are portrayed as coloured mapping units.
