Maps

During the course of the Desert Project several soil and geomorphic maps were generated. In the 1990s, Leland Gile began working with the Jornada Basin LTER program, especially Barbara Nolen, to transfer the maps to digital format. The maps contained in this link are the result of those efforts.

• Color Map 1 - Topography, Soil Parent Materials and General Climate Zones
