SOIL AND LAND COVER OVERLAY ANALYSES

Soil survey data for Knox County, Tennessee, were coded in 2.68-acre cells registered to geodetic coordinates; land cover information classified from geometrically corrected ERTS scanner data was processed and assigned to geodetic cells of the same size through the use of a special computer program. Ground registration of data permitted overlay analysis which greatly enhanced the value of both data sets.
