The FAO Digital Soil Map of the World is the digitized version of the FAO-UNESCO Soil Map of the World produced in paper version at scale 1:5 million. It shows 4931 mapping units consisting of soil associations, which are mixtures of different soil types, classified according to the FAO-UNESCO Legend, which defines a total of 106 soil units on ...

You can calculate the length of a path, running route, fence, border, or the perimeter of any object that appears on a google map. The distance calculator will then display a measurement of the length in feet, meters, miles and kilometers.
Data available from the DSMW at 1:5,000,000 scale. The Digital Soil Map of the World (DSMW) corresponds to the digitisation of the Soil Map of the World at 1:5,000,000 scale and its legend. Soils are described through soil associations for which we have the list of soil types in the FAO-UNESCO 1974 legend, texture in three classes, slope ...

The Digitized Soil Map of the World, at 1:5.000.000 scale, is in the Geographic projection (Latitude - Longitude) intersected with a template containing water related features (coastlines, lakes, glaciers and double-lined rivers).
The derived soil properties files include programs that interpret the maps in terms of parameters such as pH, organic carbon content, C/N ratio, clay mineralogy, soil depth, soil and terrain stability for specific crop production, soil moisture storage capacity and soil drainage class.
