SOILS MAP OF MEXICO 1:1,000,000 |
The Instituto Nacional de Estadistica Geografia e Informatica (INEGI)
developed the soils map of Mexico using units of classification related to the 1970
FAO/UNESCO soil map of the world, and modified by DDGTENAL. In addition to the soil
classes, the map units may be described by a chemical or physical phase. Chemical
phases include salt, sodic, salt
sodic, and without chemical phase. Physical phases include concretions,
duripan, fragipan, gravel, Lithic (rock), stony, petrocalcic, petrogypsic, and
without physical phase.

A global digital elevation model at 30 arcsecond resolution (approximately 1 kilometer) at
the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) EROS Data Center (EDC), labeled as GTOPO30, has made it
possible to obtain derivative products for hydrologic studies. The river basins for North
America were extracted and subsequently vectorized and tagged with attributes according to
the numbering scheme developed by Otto Pfafstetter, a Brazilian engineer.
