      <abstract>These data show soil map units for the Belt-Stockett-Sand Coulee area southeast of Great Falls, Montana. The data were digitized by the Cascade county office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) from the paper orthophotos in the published Cascade County (NRCS survey number MT 613) soil survey. At the time these were digitized, it is believed that the date of the available survey would have been 1982.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data were produced to support mine reclamation efforts of the Reclamation Division of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.</purpose>
