The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency of The United States Department of Agriculture, has national responsibilities for the coordination of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The Adapx digital pen and associated Capturx ArcGIS Desktop extension are technologies being evaluated as tools to assist in the completion of the initial soil survey of the United States and to assist in the update and maintenance of the spatial and attribute data for completed soil surveys. Results of pilot testing and workflow development will be presented.
