Land Systems of Adelaide-Alligator Area

Is a reconnaissance level land resource survey (scale 1:250,000) conducted by CSIRO in 1965 to map and describe the Adelaide-Alligator Rivers Area. The mapped information covers an area of 25,000km2 and describes 23 land systems including the distribution, landforms, soils and vegetation over this area. Land System information is usually interpreted to indicate land capability for a range of land uses and provides a basis for identifying the extent and distrbution of land resources. (Land System - An area or group of areas throughout which there is a re-recuring pattern of topography, soils and vegetation. Recognised as being an assemblage of Land Units) This spatial dataset was amalgamated within the compilation dataset Land System Surveys of the Northern Part of the Northern Territory. (Department survey code NORTH_250) Refer to Metadata record: http://www.ntlis.nt.gov.au/metadata/export_data?type=html&metadata_id=8E85C28F9C9285EBE040CD9B21447F57
