Idaho Soil Atlas
For an overview of the soils that make up the diverse state of Idaho, visit the web version of the Idah oSoil Atlas. The Idaho Soils Atlas features 54 soils throughout the state, including horizon and landscape photos of the soil. The Idaho Soils Atlas was originally developed in 1983 by the University of Idaho, College of Agriculture; the Soil Conservation Service (now Natural Resources Conservation Service) and Forest Service of the Untied States Department of Agriculturel the Cureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bureau of Indian Affairs of the United States Department of Interior; and the Idaho Soil Conservation Commission. This web version was made possible with assistance from the Southwest Idaho RC & D.

The RC & D, through the NRCS, also recognizes the importance of education in soil conservation and land use. These links have pictures of some educational events.
