Assignment 6:

In order to accomplish this assignment first, I downloaded the data given for this particular assignment and opened it in ArcGIS software which was followed by changing the alignment from -96 to -106 central meridian as well as the symbology. Later, I got the Pecos headwater soils classified by Map area. After that, I used clip feature under the ArcToolbox to clip the boundaries of STATSGO to that of the watershed. Then I used the join table feature to join the comp table to that of the Pecos_HUC Soils feature. Using the data from the joined table, various information (soil components, soil surface type, slope, surface texture, dominant soil group) of the soil type NM 963 can be answered. Three tables (mapunit, layer, comp) were related by performing the relate tables operation, and integrated various soil properties to calculate features like total soil depth and water holding capacity for each components. For the land use data, using the Merge toolbox, I added the four land use shapefiles and exported those in a new feature and then clipped the land use to the PecosHUC. Using the symbology feature, I divided the land use map to different components.

Finally, I created two layouts of Pecos Headwaters Soils and Land use to export to the website.
