GIS Technical References

Technical references are intended primarily for the project soil scientist mapping soils in the field.  These are step by step instructions for accomplishing common GIS tasks for MO1 soil scientists. These instructions are based on the training workshops held in 2004 and 2005 - ArcGIS for MO1 Soil Scientists. The complete reference manuals and training data are listed at the bottom of the page. Most of these documents refer to ESRI ArcGIS 8.3.
