Application of remote sensing technology to the solution of problems in the management of resources in Indiana

The author has identified the following significant results. Twenty-eight quarter sections were mapped, representing a total area of 4480 acres or approximately 1.25% of the county. Soil series were not consistently separated on a countywide basis. When internal drainage and parent materials were ascertained, a soil series could be predicted. Each soil spectral class represented one predominant drainage class with minor inclusions of other drainage classes. The same is true with conventional field mapping units that also contain minor inclusions of other drainage classes. Most wetlands could be identified in the LANDSAT classification. There appeared to be some confusion in distinguishing between different wetland types and between some wetland and upland cover types
