Land Systems Willeroo-Dry River Area

This spatial dataset describes the polygon information on the map unit boundaries on the Dry River and Willeroo (part of) pastoral leases, Northern Territory. The land resource survey was conducted in May of 1974 at a scale of 1:100,000 and covers an area of approximately 2,108km2 - located on the western part of the Sturt Plateau; some 100km south of Katherine along the Victoria Highway. The survey mapped and described 18 land systems on the properties providing information about soil, vegetation and landform. In 2011, the department reassessed this survey and broadened the survey scale to 1 : 250,000.
