Statement
This map was originally created in 1963 by G.A.L Johnson from methods outlined in Soil Map Of the Moor House National Nature Reserve (1963), Westmorland. Soil Survey for the Nature Conservancy by GAL Johnson in The Geology of Moor House, a National Nature Reserve in north-east Westmorland / Johnson G.A.L., Dunham K.C., Monographs of the Nature Conservancy (No.2) 1963, HMSO. It was digitized at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood in the late 1990s.
