-There are three main
factors that influence erosion. These are percent slope, soil type, and
landuse type.
|
|
1) Percent slope was
derived in ArcView using contour data from the Maine Office of GIS. Areas
with a high percent slope are denoted by dark red, and areas with a low
percent slope are denoted by blue.

|
2) The soil map was created
by ArcView. This map is simply a digital version of the USDA soil map. Each
color denotes a specific soil series. Ex. This color represents the
Thorndike soil series.
