Use of a descriptive soil map unit naming convention, as well as the development of a hierarchy of soil map units that can be utilized based upon variable landscape scales. Development of a stand alone field database to store a variety of soil properties and vegetation data collected during the mapping process, and linking this data to a NASIS SSURGO download for Denali National Park.

Computer Programs	Orthorectification	The BIA hired a private contractor to orthorectify the field sheets for the Fort Defiance Soil Survey to create the maps for digital finishing. The field sheets were orthorectified using proprietary software. Soil lines were extracted by modifying line values and selecting for those values.	Tara Manuelito BIA 505-863-8483
