A The data contained on the MC&DC web site that is also linked to PASDA is all in NAD83 datum and UTM Zones 17 and 18. For counties that fall within both zones like Centre and Clinton, whichever zone the majority of the county falls in is what the zone is for the entire county. DOQQ’s downloaded from PASDA for the majority of the county will overlay properly. For the DOQQ’s that are in the different zone will not overlay properly. You must re-project the soils to the other zone for the soils to overlay properly with the DOQQ’s. For instance in Clinton County, Sinnemahoning and Pottersdale DOQQ’s will not line up with the soils because they are in UTM zone 17 and Clinton Co. was archived on PASDA in UTM zone 18.
