SoilWeb_spatial_query: Get SSURGO Data via Spatial Query

Description

Get SSURGO Data via Spatial Query to SoilWeb

Data are currently available from SoilWeb. These data are a snapshot of the "official" data. The snapshot date is encoded in the "soilweb_last_update" column in the function return value. Planned updates to this function will include a switch to determine the data source: "official" data via USDA-NRCS servers, or a "snapshot" via SoilWeb.

Usage

SoilWeb_spatial_query(
  bbox = NULL,
  coords = NULL,
  what = "mapunit",
  source = "soilweb"
)

Value

The data returned from this function will depend on the query style. See examples below.

Arguments

bbox

a bounding box in WGS84 geographic coordinates, see examples

coords

a coordinate pair in WGS84 geographic coordinates, see examples

what
