Abstract
A 1:15,000 scale soil map of an area measuring approximately 2.8×2.0 km in the Okstindan Mountains has been constructed using photogrammetric and ground survey techniques. This has allowed an assessment of environmental influences on soil type differentiation and spatial distribution. The major controlling variables are considered to be relief, climate, and vegetation; these interact to determine characteristics of soil surface organic horizons, the extent of translocation in soil profiles, and the nature of downslope mass movement of soil material.Keywords
